Ingredients:
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 1/2 cup apple sauce
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 3 1/2 cups tiger nuts flour
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp fresh ginger – finely grated
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
Instructions:
- Combine brown sugar, molasses, apple sauce, butter & maple syrup, in a medium sauce pan.
- Bring to a boil, turn down & simmer 6 minutes. Then, cool down to lukewarm.
- Combine tiger nuts flour, spices, baking soda & baking powder, in a medium mixing bowl.
- In a mixer, stir in egg. Then, add tiger nuts flour mixture, about 1 cup at a time.
- Note: Stir in each cup of flour, until just mixed, before adding another cup.
- Note: You may have to add more flour, a little bit at a time, until dough pulls off the sides of mixing bowl.
- Remove from mixing bowl, onto a work surface, lightly coated in bench flour.
- Pull dough together to form a ball. Cut in half, forming each half into a ball. Flatten each ball into a disc & wrap in plastic wrap.
- Chill dough for a 2-3 hours, in the refrigerator.
- Tip: Chill dough overnight, if possible.
- When ready to proceed, lightly flour work surface & roll dough to a minimum of 1/4 inch thick.
- Cut cookies out, with desired cookie cutter shapes & place cookies 1 – 1.5 inches apart, on baking sheets lined with parchment, a baking mat, or grease baking sheets.
- Re-roll the scraps & cut more cookies out, until there is not enough dough left, so as not to waste any.
- Decorate cookies with sugar crystals or sprinkles, as desired.
- Note: You may want to use icing to decorate cookies, after baking.
- Note: If you want to use these gingerbread men for hanging on a tree, use a skewer & then a chopstick to pierce a hole in the top of each unbaked cookie, if desired.
- Bake one sheet at a time on the middle rack on 325 degrees F for 15 – 17 minutes.
- Tip: Take cookies out, as soon as they start to brown around the edges.
- Before removing cookies from the sheets, allow them to sit in the pan for about 3 minutes.
- Tip: While waiting, just make sure the hole is okay & reuse the skewer to open up the holes to hang up, if needed.
- Remove cookies to a cooling rack & allow them to rest until completely cooled.
- Decorate & frost, as desired. Then, if hanging the gingerbread men on the tree, make a hanger with a piece of narrow ribbon.
