Gingerbread Christmas Trees
Serves: 16
Ingredients
To make Gingerbread Christmas Trees , you'll need:
- 120 butter, melted
- 3 free range eggs, beaten
- 200g ground almonds
- 2 tbsp. cocoa powder, unsweetened
- 3 drops vanilla extract (or pinch of dried vanilla powder)
- 1 tsp. sodium bicarbonate
- 3 tsp. spices - ground ginger, all spice and bit of cinnamon to make lovely and spicy Gingerbread (here is where you can play around with spices to suit your taste)
- 4 tbsp. of liquid sweetener (1 dissolved sweetener tab in a little bit of water)
Method
- Beat the eggs into a foam (that means you need to use a lot of force!), then add the melted butter and the rest of the ingredients.
- Keep beating until you end up with a firm dough.
- Cover with cling film and place in fridge for 2 hours.
- Then, mould them into cookie shapes.
- Bake at 175°c or Gas Mark 4 for 20-25 minutes. If you’re not sure if the cookies are done, gently prod the edges: dark cookies, such as gingerbread or chocolate cookies, are done when the edges become firm.
- Allow the cookies to cool, serve, and enjoy!
