Chocolate Ginger Bread Reindeers
Ingredients
- 125g unsalted vegan butter softened
- 1/2 cup soft brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 2/3 cup rice malt syrup
- 2 1/2 cups plain flour (and extra for rolling)
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger and/or sweet mixed spice
- 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 1 block of Pana Chocolate and small smarties packet
Method
Preheat over to 160C
In a large bowl combine butter, sugar, golden syrup, spices and bicarb. Combine well.
Sift in flour slowly and mix until just combined.
Take the dough mixture and place on a floured surface and knead until . If the dough is too soft (sometimes moisture varies with coconut and brown sugars) add a little more flour (or refrigerate to set a little).
Roll out dough to 5mm thickness and cut with shaped cutter.
Add smarties button and bake in batches for around 8 minutes on a cookie tray lined with baking paper.
Cool on a wire rack and decorate ears dipped in melted chocolate and allow to set or cool in fridge.
Happy Christmas Eve hope you’re having an amazing night with family and friends.
