In sifted flour with salt, add sugar and drive the egg. We mix and combine with the honey-and-oil mass. The finished dough is wrapped in a film and left overnight in the refrigerator.
From the cardboard we cut out templates - circles with a diameter of 2.5, 3.5, 5, 6, 7, 8.5 cm and a carved leaf 8 cm long. The dough is quickly rolled out 4 mm thick. With a sharp knife, we cut figurines from the template (note that 2 bells are needed for one bell). A thick handle in the center of each circle and at the end of the leaves we punch openings. We bake cookies in a preheated 180 degree oven for only 10 minutes.
And while they cool down, we will prepare the glaze. Cold whisk with sugar until strong peaks and add diluted in a teaspoon of water with lemon acid (you can just take a spoonful of lemon juice). Using a pastry syringe, we decorate the circles and leaves with glaze, and when it stiffens, we begin to collect "bells".
To do this, let's pass the gift ribbon (at least 70 cm long) through the hole of the smallest ring, align in the middle and connect the ends of the tape. Now, like a pyramid, we string circles, starting from the largest one. Then, through each end of the tape we pass through the leaf and tie it with a beautiful bow. All you can hang bells on the Christmas tree, and you can wrap it in transparent paper and give it to your friends for the New Year!
