Hello lovelies, I finally have a cookie recipe for you: Crispy cookies with nuts and ginger. Have you baked all your Christmas cookies yet? I have baked quite a few and we have already eaten most of them :-). This year’s baking motto is a special one, as my lovely blogger colleague Fanny from FannytheFoodie had the great idea to come together for a joint Christmas baking project.
We (Fanny from FannytheFoodie, Lara from Vanillacrunnch, Heike from Tastyasheck and I) have come together to share some delicious recipes with you. We also invited the community on Instagram to share their creations with the hashtag #swissxmasbaking18. I definitely recommend you to have a look, there are so many great recipes and pictures already. We have not only come together online but also met offline and baked together at my house, which was a very lovely and fun day.
Crispy cookies with nuts and ginger
Now back to my recipe that I want to share with you. There are quite a few classical cookie recipes available in a vegan version by now. And as you may know me by now, I wanted to create something a little different. I like crispy cookies à la Cantuccini very much and so these crispy cookies with nuts and ginger go into that direction. They are baked like a loaf of bread, then cut into thin slices and shortly baked again. This is how they turn out so super crispy and delicate in flavor by adding ginger powder and gingerbread spice.
Due to the double baking, the cookies will turn out very crispy, the second baking round is worth the work. Just make sure you definitely keep an eye on them, because depending on their thickness they can turn too dark very quickly and that would be quite a shame. By the way, I veganized a recipe here that my mother once gave me. It usually comes with eggs that can easily be replaced with aquafaba. You can vary with the spices and nuts and instead of gingerbread spice use cinnamon or vanilla. Other nuts or pistachios also work well.
These crispy cookies with nuts and ginger are very suitable as a present. So, don’t they look cute wrapped with a ribbon on it, looking light little packages? If you’re still looking for a small present for Christmas, then you have to try this recipe. It doesn’t require many ingredients and is very easy to make. Just don’t skip the second baking round.
Also, If you want you can decorate them with some melted chocolate. You don’t have to, they taste delicious without chocolate (but a little chocolate never hurts)!
If you love these crispy cookies with nuts and ginger, my Christmas baking corner has more vegan ideas waiting for you: for a whole colorful plate try my vegan cookies from 1 dough in 3 kinds, for something festively spiced there's my vegan gingerbread mousse with cherries, and if you like it chocolatey and fruity you should definitely try my cookies with dates. I'd be so happy if you bake these crispy cookies.
So this was my recipe for #swissxmasbaking18. I will share another recipe directly on Instagram. You can already look forward to it, it’s for delicious oatmeal hazelnut cookies.
