These 100% Whole Wheat Gingerbread Men bring cheer to the cookie platter and make for great gifts. They are crisp, sweet, spicy and keep well in an airtight container for 1-2 weeks in a cool place. Makes approx 3 dozen 3″ gingerbread men cookies

Ingredients:

280g whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
pinch salt
10g ginger powder
10g cinnamon powder
100g unsalted butter, cubed
150g brown sugar
1 egg, beaten
15-25 ml milk, as required

Method:

Preheat the oven to 170 degrees C. Line 4 cookie sheets with parchment paper. Sift the whole wheat flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking powder and salt. In the bowl of a food processor, add the flour mix to the cold butter, & pulse briefly to make a breadcrumb like mix. Tip in the sugar, pulse. Then add the beaten egg, and pulse briefly to mix. Now add enough milk to make a firm yet pliable dough. Roll out to 1/4 inch thickness & cut with desired cookie cutters. Bake for 12-15 minutes till they smell done and the edges start turning golden-brown. Cool on cookie racks.
