Equipment

  • Oven

ingredients
  

  • 100 g margarine
  • 250 g self-raising flour
  • 6 tsp biscuit and gingerbread spices
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • 50 g agave syrup
  • 7.5 g stevia
  • 80 ml milk
  • 8 g vanilla sugar

instructions
 

  • Heat the oven to 170 degrees. Stir the flour, stevia, vanilla sugar, gingerbread spices, baking powder and a pinch of salt together in a bowl.
  • Add the cold margarine, agave syrup and milk and knead into a firm ball. Do not knead too long, because the dough should not get too hot.
  • Line a baking tray with a piece of baking paper. Turn the dough into balls and place them on the baking tray. Flatten them slightly.
  • Put the gingerbread cookies in the oven for about 30 minutes. When they come out of the oven they will still feel a bit soft but when they have cooled down they will become crispy.
