Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup spelt flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp all spice
- Pinch of salt
- 4 Le Puree Pear Prune Buckwheat Cubes (defrosted)
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup molasses (swap with maple syrup for babies under 12 months)
- 4 tbsp icing sugar
- 3 tbsp milk
Method
1. Preheat oven to 180c and line a baking tray with baking paper.
2. In a large bowl combine all of the dry ingredients and stir until well combined.
3. Create a well in the centre and add your wet ingredients. Fold through until a dough forms.
4. On a clean surface sprinkle some extra flour and transfer the dough. Roll out with a rolling pin until about 1/2cm thick. Using a cookie cutter cut out as many gingerbread cookies as possible and then repeat with remaining dough.
5. Transfer to a baking tray and bake for 10-12min. Allow to cool.
6. In the mean time combine your icing ingredients and stir until well combined. Transfer mixture to a piping bag or zip lock bag so you can ice your gingerbread cookies. (skip the icing for babies under 12 months or if not wanting to add sugar)
