Ingredients

Dough

  • 130 g coconut oil (room temp., neutral)
  • 40 g frosting sugar
  • 20 g agave syrup
  • 1 vegan egg-white replacement (commercial, or homemade with linseeds)
  • 25 g plant milk
  • 50 g hazelnuts, ground
  • 16 g unsw. cocoa powder
  • 7 g Gingerbread spice
  • 120 g white flour

Frosting

  • 40 g frosting sugar
  • 10 g water


Rezept

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C
  2. Whip coconut oil with frosting sugar and agave syrup for about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Mix in the egg-white replacement (liquid, do not whip) and oat milk.
  4. Add ground hazelnuts
  5. In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder and gingerbread spice.
  6. Now add the flour mixture to the "liquid" mixture. Combine well and don't overdo it, stop mixing as soon as everything looks combined.
    -> The dough will be dry - about as moist as a well-watered plant's soil, not your dead plant's!
  7. Add the dough to a icing bag with a star shaped extruder. Begin by extruding the dough on a baking sheet, and drag the extruder a little to the side. Practice makes perfect, if you don't want to bother, just shape them into cookie form.
  8. Bake for 10 minutes in the lower part of your oven
  9. Make the frosting and spread carefully on the Bärentatzen as soon as they come out of the oven.
