This
recipe is a hash up of a couple of things that I tasted and saw. The basic
cookie recipe is one for stained-glass cookies, but after tasting the wonderful
cinnamon biscuits from the Cinnamon Tree Bakery.
In Borough market they sell their marvellous elephant-embossed cinnamon
biscuits, so I decided to play around to see if I could make an approximation of
them.
Ingredients
12 oz
flour
½ tsp
salt
1 tsp
ginger
3 tsp
cinnamon
3.5oz margarine
6oz brown
sugar
1
free-range egg
4 tbsp
golden syrup
Method
Cream the
margarine and sugar together before adding the spices, salt and syrup. Once
thoroughly mixed add the egg and then the flour. The mixture will be fairly dry
so you can roll it out and cut it into shapes. Much like gingerbread it will
hold its shape while baking so I think you could easily use this to make a
gingerbread house, if you prefer cinnamon to ginger.
The bakers
at the cinnamon tree bakery emboss the biscuits with a white print of an
elephant, but I have yet to work out how they do this, so instead I used a
cookie cutter to imprint the shape of a snowflake, you could also ice them.
