New Moon Ginger Cookies Recipe

Ingredients:

• 225g spelt plain flour

• ½ tsp bicarb

• 2 tsp ground ginger

• 100g softened butter

• 120g coconut sugar

• 100g malt extract

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 190°C fan (170°C gas).

In a bowl, mix together the spelt flour, bicarbonate of soda, and ground ginger.
Add the softened butter and rub it into the dry mixture with your fingertips until it resembles sand.

Stir in the malt extract, and work the dough with your hands. The more you work it, the warmer and smoother the dough will become.

Divide into small balls (about 33g each) and place on a lined baking tray.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until just golden around the edges.

Let cool slightly — if you can resist and enjoy with a cup of warm tea or coffee!
