Gingerbread People with Red Sweet Windows

Preparation

1. Cream butter and brown sugar. Add honey and egg, then flour, spices, bicarbonate and salt. Form a disc without kneading for a long time; refrigerate 1 hour.
2. Gather the dough, flatten it, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
3. Spread the dough over 5 mm and cut out twenty 9 cm men. Place them on two silicone mats and hollow out a 2 cm round in the center of the torso, keeping at least 7 mm of dough around. Cook the small rounds removed separately as cookies.
4. Squeeze the sweets in a solid sachet with the roll. Cook a first baking tray for 7 minutes at 175 °C. Exit briefly, fill each window with 2 to 2.5 g of crushed candy, in a low layer without overflowing on the dough.
5. Place in the oven for 4-6 minutes, just until the candy is melted and the edges are lightly coloured. Repeat for the second plate. Allow to cool completely for 40 minutes on the mats without moving the cookies; the windows become hard only when cold.
6. Mix the expected icing sugar and water with a hint of yellow dye. Spread a wide cuff on each arm, 2 to 3 g of icing per man in total, without touching the window. Reserve the surplus, dry 1 hour flat. Do not hang cookies.
