Ginger Bread Cookies
Gluten free, Dairy free
Ingredients
-
1 + 1/2 cup Almond meal
-
3/4 Cup Tapioca Flour
-
1 tsp ground ginger
-
1/4 tsp ground cloves
-
2 tsp ground cinnamon
-
1/4 tsp Himalayan salt
-
3 tbsp Organic coconut oil (melted)
-
2 + 1/2 tsp organic maple syrup
-
4 tbsp organic honey
-
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
Method
-
Preheat oven to 180 degrees and line a baking tray with baking paper
-
In a large mixing bowl, add all dry ingredients and mix together to combine well.
-
Add the coconut oil, maple syrup, honey & vanilla essence and mix together using an electric mixer until a thick dough forms.
-
The mixture should resemble wet crumbs that stick together when you pinch them with your fingers.
-
Combine the dough by pressing it together by hand and rolling it into one large ball.
-
Place the dough in between 2 larges sheets of baking paper. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out until it is around 1cm thick.
-
Refrigerate the dough for around 20mins (or 10mins in the freezer) to let it set.
-
Peel the top piece of baking paper off and use a cookie cutter to cut cookies into shape of choice. Place cookies on the baking tray about 1/2cm apart.
-
Roll the left over dough back into a ball and repeat from step 6 until all the dough is used.
-
Bake cookies for around 10-15mins until golden brown.
-
Let the cookies cool before moving from the tray to prevent them falling apart.
-
Decorate with desired icing and decorations. Store in an airtight container in the fridge to keep fresh.
