Gingerbread Cookies
Vegan and glutenfree gingerbread cookies perfect for Christmas
Ingredients
- 155 grams buckwheat flour (5.5 oz or about 1 cup)
- 65 grams almond flour (2.3 oz or about 0.8 cup)
- 1 dl brown sugar (½ cup)
- 1 tbsp black strap molasses or dark syrup
- 4 tbsp syrup such as maple or agave
- 50 grams vegan butter (1.8 oz)
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- ½ tsp ground cloves
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 2 tbsp apple sauce
Icing
- 1.5 dl powdered sugar (⅔ cup)
- 1-3 tsp water
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, mix buckwheat flour, almond flour, spices and baking soda.
-
In another bowl, add vegan butter, brown sugar, molasses and syrup and mix it with a hand mixer. Add the apple sauce and mix again.
-
Pour the vegan butter mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix it well into a nice and firm dough. Let the dough sit in the fridge for approx. 1-2 hours.
-
Preheat the oven to 175C°/350F° convection oven.
-
Take out ½ the dough and roll it out on a piece of parchment paper with a little sprinkle of buckwheat flour on it using your hands until it's ½ cm (¼ inch) thick. You might need to flour or wash your hands during the roll out has the dough can become sticky as you work with it.
-
Use yout favorite cookie cutters to cut out your shapes. Re-roll the dough as needed in order to cur out more shapes. Tranfer the shapes to a baking tray covered with parchment paper using a spatular. Repeat the roll out with the other half of the dough.
-
Bake the cookies for 7-9 minutes. Let them cool for a few minutes and then tranfer them to a cooling rack.
Icing
-
Add the powdered sugar to a bowl. Add very little water at a time and mix well. The icing should be as thick as possible but you should be able to mix all the powdered sugar in.
-
Transfer the icing to a piping bag and decorate the cooled cookies.
