Gingerbread cookies with kefir in the oven

First, separate the yolks from the whites, as we'll need these ingredients separately for certain stages of the preparation. Refrigerate the whites.

Pour sugar into a deep container.

Pour in vegetable oil.

Add eight tablespoons of milk to the container.

Add vanilla, yolks, and kefir. Mix thoroughly with a spoon.

Gradually add flour and baking powder, continuing to knead. Once the dough has formed a structure, remove it from the bowl and knead it by hand on the countertop.

Place the resulting dough in the refrigerator for one hour.

Divide the dough into small equal parts and roll it out with a rolling pin to a thickness of 1 cm.

Using a cup, squeeze out the gingerbread cookies from the resulting dough form.

Place the gingerbread cookies on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes at 180 degrees.

In a separate bowl, mix the egg whites and powdered sugar, then beat with a mixer until the glaze forms.

Pour glaze over the baked gingerbread.
