Ho - Ho - Ho ! ! ! Merry Christmas, my dear gourmets! Wishing you to open new tastes, flavors, people, cities and places every day. Because this brings us new emotions and encourages us to explore further.
We are closer to new year than ever and this has its own charm. Only four days left to enter new chapter of our lives. According to Ukrainian tradition Santa brings us presents on the 21st of December every year. So in comparison to all Germans who have already packed and granted the presents, in Ukraine it is all to come. Therefore I believe a good ginger bread cookies recipe will make only a magic addition to all the presents you are gonna pack. Or at least fulfil your house with an irresistible scent of upcoming party.
150 g white flour
120 g whole wheat flour of your choice
100 g butter (for vegan version may be replaced by coconut oil)
70 g brown sugar (or 100 g rice syrup)
4 tbsp honey
1 egg
1 tbsp Christmas spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, anise)
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
Take butter out of the fridge about an hour before you plan to bake so that it is room temperature.
Preheat the oven to 175°C. Mix butter with sugar (or rice syrup) and honey. Add an egg and mix well. In another bowl combine all the dry ingredients: flours, spices, salt. Then add dry ingredients into butter-egg-mix. Roll the dough to 2-3 mm thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut it with cookie cutter of your preferred form. I used stars and hearts this time.
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool on baking sheets 2 minutes. Cool completely (about 30 minutes).
I packed them into small bags. They can be a nice present or just delicious addition to your tea time:)
Have a wonderful start of the year and enjoy the holidays!!!!!
