Mix the dry ingredients of the dish separately from the liquids, and then connect the two masses together. The resulting ginger dough should be cooled half an hour before rolling. Roll the dough to half a centimeter thick cut into dots and make a notch in them using the flat side of the handle or pencil.
Fill the cavities with berry jam.
A strip of licorice thinly cut and make from it an inverted smile, which should be fixed on the cookie.
