Equipment

  • Oven

ingredients
  

  • 100 g margarine
  • 150 g self-raising flour
  • 100 g oat flour
  • 8 tsp biscuit and gingerbread spices
  • 3 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 50 g coconut sugar
  • 7.5 g stevia
  • 80 ml milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

instructions
 

  • Heat the oven to 170 degrees. Stir the self-raising flour, oat flour, stevia, coconut sugar, gingerbread spices, cinnamon, baking powder and a pinch of salt together in a bowl.
  • Add the cold margarine, vanilla extract, 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 small balls (around 1 cm) 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.

notes

Vegan: use vegan margarine and plant-based milk.
