A great little recipe from the festive season from our lovely Krisztina. Carry that Christmas taste with you to work this week and back yourself these lovely cookies.
Ingredients
2 cups of flour of choice
1.5 tsp cinnamon
1.5 tsp ginger
1.5 tsp nutmeg
0.5 tsp salt
1.5 tsp baking soda
1 large egg
1.5 cups sugar or granulated sweetener of choice ( not powder)
3/4 cup of melted unsalted butter
1/4 cup of molasses
For vegan version replace the egg with 1 very ripe banana and butter with plant based alternative
Method
- Mix all the dry ingredient together – flour, spices and baking soda and set aside
- Mix melted butter with 1 cup sugar, once combined add the egg, combine well and then add the molasses and mix well until smooth
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients small amounts at a time until fully combined ( for the vegan version you need to rest the dough on the fridge tightly cling filmed for 30 mins before rolling and baking)
- Take portions of 1 slightly heaped tbsp of your cookie dough at a time and roll into balls
- Roll each ball in the rest of your sugar
- Place them on a baking tray with enough space for your 3 middle fingers – you can about 6 balls on a tray
Make sure you don’t flatten them- they will spread by themselves
- Bake in a pre heated oven at gas mark 4 for about 15-20 mins
Once baked let them cool down on a rack and store in airtight container.
Enjoy!
