Preparation:
For the cookies, put all the ingredients together in a bowl, knead until you obtain a compact preparation that does not stick to your hands. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Then, remove the dough and stretch it and cut out figures with Christmas cookie cutters, place them carefully on a previously buttered baking tin and bake at 180°C for 5 to 8 minutes until the edges are lightly browned. Once ready, let them cool and remove them to cool completely. For the glaze, beat the egg white until frothy. Add the powdered sugar. Then color as you like and paint the cookies decoratively with the help of small piping bags.
