Alix from Cooking with Alix shares the yummy recipe for this traditional Christmas treat.

Ingredients List

 

  • All purpose flour 350g
  • Almond flour 50g
  • Brown sugar 100g
  • Butter 180g
  • Egg x1
  • Gingerbread spices mix or cinnamon 2 teaspoons
  • salt 2 pinches

  • Icing (egg white x1 +  icing sugar 150g)
  • Food colorants

Baking Instructions

#1 Butter should be soft. Add it into a bowl with the sugar. Whisk until creamy. Add the egg and whisk again.

#2 Add the spices, pinch of salt and almond flour. Keep whisking.

#3 Add the floor progressively, first with a spatula, then with your hands. Knead and male a dough ball.

#4 Best is to let the dough rest for at least 1 hour in the fridge.

#5 Pre-heat your oven for 180°C.

#6 Spread the dough with a rolling pin until 0.8-1cm thick  (trick: do it between two baking paper sheets, it won’t stick!)

#7 Use cookie cutters to shape your biscuits.

#8 Bake for 10-12 mins at 175-180°C until top gets golden (careful, it goes fast!)

#9 Let them cool down a bit.

 

How to make the icing

Mix egg white and icing sugar and place in a pastry socket or equivalent. It can also be coloured during the mixing phase.

 

Spice it up even more!

Let the kids decorate the biscuits with the icing and «glue » dried fruits, nuts and sprinkles! Store in the fridge for max 3-4 days.
