Once the sweet gingery aroma hits your nostrils, it will feel just like Christmas. The addition of lemon zest to these cookies will add a little zing to your step!
Ingredients
- 2 cups white spelt flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1-2 tbs ground ginger for milder spice flavour, up to 4 tbsp for strong spice flavour (how we love it)
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup melted butter
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 large egg well beaten
- Zest of 1-2 lemons
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C and line 2 trays with unbleached baking paper.
- In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ground ginger, and salt.
- In a separate bowl mix together the melted butter, coconut sugar, maple syrup, egg and lemon zest.
- Pour butter and sugar mixture over the flour and mix together to form a dough. If the dough is too wet add a little more flour, if too dry add a little water.
- Dust some flour over a clean and dry bench top. Using a rolling pin, roll dough to 1 cm thick. Use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes of approx 20 +cookies laying on pre-prepared baking paper.
- Bake for 7-10 minutes or until cookies slightly darken and become fragrant.
