Category:     Baked Good

Description:
This is an easy soft gingerbread recipe which I got from the All Recipes website and tweaked to make compliant - and it worked. I've given the measurements in US and metric.


General applicability:

Gingerbread
Green: recipe contains only neutral or a beneficials ingredients for that type.
Yellow: recipe contains an secondary avoid ingredient that may be substituted by a more permissable one.
Orange: contains an avoid in a primary ingredient.



Ingredient list:
  • 1/2 cup or 100g butter or ghee
  • 1/3 cup or 85g agave, or 1/2 cup or 110g sugar
  • 3 1/4 cups 405g sifted amaranth flour
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice/cinnamon/cloves
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 3/4 cup or 180ml molasses
  • 1/4 cup or 60ml water


How to make it:
  • Cream butter/ghee with agave/sugar in a large bowl.
  • In a smaller bowl, sift flour with sea salt, baking soda and spices.
  • Blend flour mixture into creamed mixture alternately with molasses and water, making sure each is completely incorporated before adding the next.
  • Chill at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350F (180C).
  • Roll dough to 1/4 inch thick. Cut with large 6-8 inch gingerbread men cookie cutters. Lift onto lightly greased cookie sheet with broad spatula.
  • Bake above oven center for about 12 minutes or until cookies spring back lightly in center. Do not overcook, they won't stay soft.
  • Remove from sheets and cool on wire racks. Makes 10 men 6-8 inches tall.
  • I didn't have cookie cutters so I used a water glass to cut out rounds, and I got around 70 gingerbread biscuits.
