Ingredients
- 2 cups organic spelt flour
- 2 Tbsps ground ginger
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp Himalayan pink salt
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 1 organic free range egg
- 1 Tbsp water
- 1/4 cup raw honey
- 165g soft organic butter
Icing
- 200g softened cream cheese (or you will get lumps)
- 50g organic butter, softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- finely grated zest of a lemon and juice to taste
- raw honey to sweeten (about 2 Tablespoons) or to your liking
Method
Preheat oven to 180C and line three baking trays.
Sift spelt flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda and salt into a bowl.
In another bowl, cream softened butter and coconut sugar. Beat in egg. Beat in water and honey until combined.
Gradually beat in sifted ingredients on low speed until just mixed in. Chill this dough for around 30 minutes in the fridge to firm up and then dollop small walnut sized balls with two spoons onto the baking trays around 4 cm apart.
Bake one tray at a time for 12 minutes. Allow to cool on the tray for 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool completely.
Icing
enough to fill 20 ginger kisses
Cream softened butter and cream cheese till fluffy. Add vanilla and beat to mix. Add soft honey and lemon zest and juice and beat untill fluffy. Pipe or spoon a dollop on to the middle of one 'kiss' and use the second 'kiss' to squish the icing out to the edges.
