Turmeric and gingerbread cookies

Here’s the perfect bake to get you in the festive mood – tasty turmeric and gingerbread cookies from our friends at The Turmeric Co. We’ve chosen traditional Christmas tree cutters here, but you could use any shapes you like…

Recipe

Serves: 16

Prep: 20 minutes

Cook time: 12 minutes

Ingredients

Half Raw Turmeric Original shot (or Raw Turmeric & Ginger for an extra ginger flavour)
80g vegan butter
100g caster sugar
75g coconut palm sugar
210g self-raising flour
¾ tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground ginger
Pinch of ground nutmeg
Pinch of salt

Method

1. To begin making your cookie dough, gently melt the butter then add this into a mixing bowl with the coconut sugar and caster sugar. Use a wooden spoon to mix these together to fully combine.

2. Pour in the turmeric shot and mix well.

3. Sift the dry ingredients and add these into the mixing bowl. Fold the wet and dry ingredients together, then use your hands to combine everything together to form a smooth dough.

4. Wrap the dough in cling film and pop this into the fridge to rest for 10 minutes.

5. Preheat your oven to 175 degrees centigrade (fan) or around gas mark 4, and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

6. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and cut out your Christmas tree shapes. Place these onto your baking tray and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden.

7. Allow your cookies to cool down completely on a cooling rack so that they crisp up, before decorating them with some frosting or festive sprinkles of your choice.
