How to make a calendar with sweet Christmas biscuits

1. Pour the flour into a large enough container and add the powdered spices and sugar. Then, mix with a spoon.
2. At this point, also add the egg yolk, the eggs, the butter softened at room temperature and the baking powder.
3. Start kneading with your hands or directly with the mixer until you obtain a nice compact dough .
4. Transfer it to a floured surface and roll out with a rolling pin until it is about 1 cm thick .
5. Using the molds you have available, cut out the biscuits and place them on a baking tray covered with baking paper. Bake at 180°C for 20 minutes or until the biscuits are golden. Remove from the oven and wait until the biscuits are completely cold before decorating them.
6. Now the time has come to prepare the icing for the decoration: pour the egg white into the bowl of the mixer, start whipping by adding the icing sugar a little at a time and continue until the icing is nice and thick (the amount of sugar to add could vary based on the weight of the egg white).
7. Transfer the icing to a piping bag or pastry syringe.
8. Decorate the biscuits by making numbers and other decorations as desired.
