100g Butter
100g Honey

If you want you can dye the dough using cocoa.
Let the dough cool in the fridge for 15 minutes.
Roll it out to 3-4mm thickness.
Cut out the pieces (you’ll need two of each for the house).
Bake them at around 160°C circulating air for about 7 Minutes.
Bigger pieces may need 1 to 2 minutes longer.
For the „glue“:
beat the egg white from two eggs until it’s stiff.
slowly add 400g sieved powdered sugar while beating until it’s a tough snow-white mass.
If you want it colourful just add some fruit or vegetable juice and some food colour.
Put the mass into a decorating bag
