Christmas Gingerbread Cookies

It doesn’t matter whether you’ve been naughty or nice, tis the season for our Christmas Gingerbread Cookies! A fun, simple and delicious recipe for the whole family to make (and enjoy), these Santa-approved treats are perfect for festive get-togethers and gift-giving. For a special touch, decorate using melted chocolate or icing.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain flour
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp almond milk (made using our Almond Mylk Base)
  • 1/4 cup softened butter/coconut oil
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground allspice (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

Steps

1

Put all ingredients in a bowl and mix using your hands or until all combined and a dough has formed. Add a touch more milk if the dough needs it but less is more here.
2

Wrap in cling wrap (we LOVE Great Wrap!) and place in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.
3

Pre-heat the oven to 180°C.
4

Add some flour onto a silicon mat and place the ball of dough on top, laying the cling wrap loosely over the top. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out on top of the cling wrap (this keep it from sticking to the rolling pin) until about 5mm thick.
5

Cut the dough with your cookie cutters and place on baking paper lined trays.
6

Bake for 8-9 minutes.
7

Allow to cool before transferring them to a container where they will last 4-5 days.

Note: if you like your gingerbread cookies spicy, feel free to increase the spice amount. Our recommended spice amount has been taste-tested on both big and little kids.
