Cooking steps

1. Grind the sugar and cloves.

   Required ingredients:

   • Sugar: 0.5 glass

2. Mix all the spices and the clove ground with sugar.

   Required ingredients:

   • Ground cinnamon: 2 teaspoons
   • Ground ginger: 0.5 teaspoon
   • Carnation: 1 teaspoon

3. Add the dry mixture to the butter and mix thoroughly. Now it's time for the honey. Mix everything until a smooth, silky mass.

   Required ingredients:

   • Vegetable oil: 0.5 glass
   • Honey: 2 tablespoons

4. Brew natural coffee, cool it down, and add 4 tablespoons of liquid to our mixture.

   Required ingredients:

   • Freshly brewed coffee: 4 tablespoons

5. Add baking soda. Crack an egg.

   Required ingredients:

   • Soda:  pinch
   • Chicken egg: 1 piece

6. Sift the flour. Mix it. Mix the dough well. It should be uniform and strong. It should be comfortable to roll it out to a thickness of about 3 mm.

   Required ingredients:

   • Wheat flour: 3 glasss

7. Divide the dough into about 6 parts. Form a ball and roll it out. Cut with a mold. I used a bear and heart shape. I gave each bear an almond in its paws. I made the eyes and nose using a toothpick.

   Required ingredients:

   • Almond: 100 g

8. Line the baking tray with parchment paper. Arrange the cookies compactly (if the dough is very soft, you can roll and cut it directly on the parchment).

9. Bake at 180 degrees for about 5–7 minutes. During this time, you will be able to prepare the next batch.
