Ginger cookies

There is a british and american tradition to trim the Christmas tree with typical ginger cookies named gingerbread man...because are man-shaped.
I make them with other Christmas cookies cutters.
Ingredients:
115 g margarine
200 g superfine corn flour (fumetto type in Italy)
150 g rice starch
100 g potato starch
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
100 g maple syrup
115 g sugar fruit
1 beaten egg

Preparation:
I preheat the oven at 160° (very low temperature). In a bowl I sift the flour, the starches and the spices.
In a large pan I melt over low flame the margarine and I add the maple syrup and the sugar fruit, mixing well.
I pour the dough in the bowl with the other ingredients and I add the beaten egg.
It's a gummy dough at the beginning but after some minutes becomes solid.
On a flat covered by flour; I roll the dough tick 3 mm and with cookies cutters I shape stars and jingle bells.
I put them on baking pans , kneading and cutting up to finish all the dough.
I bake the cookies for 15- 20  minutes, as long as are golden.
I take them out of the oven and I let them stand in the pans for some minutes. Then I move to other flat for cooling them down.
I mix the sugar fruit with the water on the stove so to make a caramel to pour hot on the cookies. Very carefully.
Once cooled down, the cookies are shinies and good-looking.

I hang them up to the tree with red ribbon.
