Description

Ingredients

• 150 g vegan butter / spread
• 120 g dark muscavado sugar
• 60 g golden syrup
• 375 g plain flour
• 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
• 2 tsp ground ginger
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• ½ tsp ground mixed spice
• Vegan-friendly mixed coloured boiled sweets (glass candy)

Directions

• In a small saucepan, gently melt together the butter, the sugar and the golden syrup.
• In a large mixing bowl, sieve in the flour, bicarbonate of soda and spices. Pour in the melted butter and sugar and mix until it forms a soft dough. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
• Wrap the dough in cling film and chill for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 170c and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
• Lightly dust your surface with flour and roll out the dough to about ½ cm thickness. Cut out your cookie shapes with a gap in the middle and transfer to the baking tray. Keep in mind that the gingerbread dough will expand in the oven.
• Place the glass sweets in the gaps of the cookies and bake for approx 10 minutes or until they turn dark golden brown and the sweets have completely melted down.
• Leave the cookies to cool for at least 10 minutes before handling them as the melted candy will be very hot and sticky out of the oven.
• Once completely cooled, theyre ready to enjoy!
