Boldog ünnepeket!! Boldog Karácsonyt! (Merry Christmas!)
To start, melt the butter and honey in a small pot.
Eventually mix in both kinds of sugar, but don't boil. Let the mixture cool before moving to step 4.
In a bowl, stir together 2 cups of the flour, the salt, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves.
After cooling butter, honey, and sugar, beat the eggs and add them in.
Add the ingredients in your pot to the dry ingredients.
Mix dough well. If need be, divide into pieces for easier storage.
Seal in plastic or foil and refrigerate chunks of dough overnight.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F).
Taking one chunk at a time, roll out your dough on a floured surface and cut with cookie cutters of your choosing.
Place cookies on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate cutouts for 10 minutes before baking.
Bake at 350 degrees (F) for about 8 - 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes then remove to a wire rack and cool completely before decorating.
Now the magic begins! It is time to decorate the Mézeskalács. Perhaps check Pinterest or other baking sites for some patterns you can paint or pipe (with frosting) onto your cookies to make them look truly like the traditional Hungarian treats.
Make sure to take pictures of your works of art before people eat them!
