Gingerbread Dream Cookies

pepparkaksdrommar

Another cookie recipe using baking ammonia! I know this is scary for some of you, but don't worry - it's easy to use, but it will give off a very strong smell just when you open the oven. You can't substitute it in this type of cookie! The result will be a very light and aerated crunchy cookie, the kind that immediately shatters into a thousand pieces when you break into it. Irresistible!

This makes a really delicious spicy christmas cookie. (And if you should have any left over, you can definitely freeze them.) I have not tried this with vanilla extract, so I don't know if that will work. If you can't get powdered vanilla, just skip it. If you want to try with vanilla extract, I'd add it at the same time as the oil.

Gingerbread Dream Cookies
40 small cookies

75 g butter
150 g sugar
50 ml neutral oil
150 g all purpose flour
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla, powdered
1/2 tsp baking ammonia

Beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Carefully add the oil. Mix the flour and the spices and baking ammonia separately, and stir into the cookie dough.

Roll small balls (somewhere between the size of a walnut and a hazelnut) and place on a cookie sheet. Bake at 150°C for 18-20 minutes.
