Background

Throughout the winter festivities I love having some seasonal cookies in a jar to snack on during the day. These spiced spelt cookies are one of my favourite treats, as they are easy to make, taste yummy & festive – most importantly not laden with sugar so they are more healthy than the average cookie. They are perfect for parties, or as edible gifts too! I always make them with dairy-free margarine, but recently substituted the egg with flax-egg (thus making them vegan) and they were still very yummy!

Ingredients

200g spelt flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp ground cloves
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger powder
50g light brown muscovado sugar
50g butter or dairy0/free margarine
2 Tbsp runny honey
1 egg or flax-egg

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Mix the flour, spices and baking powder. Cut the butter/margarine into cubes and crumble with the flour mixture, using your fingers. Add the sugar.
In another bowl, mix the egg or flax-egg with the honey. Add this to the crumble, and combine into a dough.
Shape small dumplings from the dough, then flatten them slightly between your palms. Place them onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
Bake in the middle of the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until light brown.
Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and let them cool.
Dust with icing sugar, if you like.
