Ingredients

  • BISCUITS
  • 2 tablespoon gingerbread syrup
  • 1 ½ tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup almond meal
  • a pinch of salt
  • teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoon coconut milk
  • ICING
  • 4 tablespoon coconut sugar processed until very fine
  • ½ teaspoon powdered ginger
  • Water

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, mix together the gingerbread syrup, coconut oil and vanilla extract.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the almond meal, salt and baking soda then stir in the wet ingredients.
  • Add the coconut milk and stir it through.
  • Form the dough into a ball and place on a sheet of baking paper then top with another piece of paper.
  • Roll out to about 1 cm thick and cut into shapes.
  • Freeze on a sheet of baking paper for at least 30 minutes.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 150C fan-forced and transfer the dough straight from the freezer to the oven and bake for 12 minutes.
  • Leave to rest on the tray for 10 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Stir the powdered coconut sugar and ginger together and add a little water at a time until it is drizzle consistency.
  • Drizzle the icing over the biscuits and leave them to set.
  • Freeze dough at least 20 minutes before cooking 10-13 minutes (depending on desired crispiness) at 325 F on a greased cookie sheet. Let cool another 10 minutes before even attempting to remove cookies from the sheet. They should firm up nicely. For troubleshooting, see nutrition link below. I store these in a glass container, not fully covered, as I like them crispier.
