Servings 11
Ingredients
- 225 grams plain flour
- 50 grams ground almonds
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon of ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon of ground nutmeg
- 3 teaspoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 150 grams honey
- 80 grams butter
- 150 g plain chocolate
Instructions
- Combine the flour, ground almonds, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, cocoa powder, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda into a medium sized bowl.
- Melt the butter and honey in a pan over a low heat, stirring until the butter melts. Take off the heat and allow to cool.
- Pour the honey butter mixture over the dry ingredients and mix well to make a stiff dough.
- Heat your oven now to 180 C/160 C fan/gas 4.
- Shape the dough into small golf ball sized balls. Place on a lined baking tray, well spaced apart. (I used my macaron pans which make a perfect round shape). Flatten each one to make a round cookie.
- Bake for about 15 minutes, then cool on a wire rack.
- Break the chocolate into pieces and place in a bowl over simmering water, heat gently. When melted dip the cooled cookies into the chocolate to half coat or spoon the chocolate over.
- Place the cookies on a wire rack to set.
