Vegan Hazelnut Xmas Goodies
Ingredients
- 100 g (3.52 oz) margarine
- 45 g (1.58 oz) coconut sugar
- 45 g (1.58 oz) cane sugar
- 3 tbsp. maple syrup
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. specula spice (This is a spice mixture made of cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg and cardamom, but can also be substituted by more cinnamon)
- 120 g/ 1 cup (spelt) flour
- 150 g (1.3 cups/ 5.29 oz) ground/milled hazelnuts
- approx. 22-24 small wafers
- approx. 25 hazelnuts (up to how many cookies you will get/between 22 - 24)
Instructions
- Melt the margarine in a pot. Add coconut sugar, cane sugar and 3 tbsp. maple syrup and whisk until creamy. Add cinnamon, specula spice, flour, ground hazelnuts and mix all ingredients with a spoon until a nice, creamy dough forms.
- Preheat oven to 175 °C/ 347 °F fan and cover a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Spread the wafers out on the work surface. Roll a ball of dough between the palms of your hands, press gently flat and place the dough on top of each wafer. If the dough is still too moist to roll, add another 1-2 tablespoons of flour.
- Bake the goodies in a preheated oven at 175 °C/ 347 °F fan for about 12-14 minutes.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press a hazelnut into each cookie (at the beginning the surface is still nicely soft enough to allow the hazelnuts to be pressed in easily). Let the vegan hazelnut goodies cool down and enjoy.
