Christmas biscuits (vegan and gluten free)

Christmas is in less than a month. The lightnings are up in the streets, the Christmas market open for business and the cold put an end to my Sunday walk and led me to my kitchen for a hot chocolate... where I found the need to bake some biscuits to go with :)

Searching for a vegan biscuits recipe, I found a link to the excellent blog of Marie Laforet and her delicious vegan recipes. I just had to change the flour to make it gluten free and there we go...



Ingredients


100 g of cane sugar
100 g of ground hazelnuts
150 g of gluten free flour
1/2 to 1 tsp of Christmas spice mix
2 tbsp of vegetable oil
3 tbsp of margarine
2 tbsp of dairy-free milk (almond for me)


Directions


Combine all the dry ingredients. Add the oil and margarine. Combine with your fingertips to obtain a crumbly mix.

At last add the almond milk and quickly knead the dough. 

Lay the dough on a floured board with a rolling pin (use greaseproof paper if the dough is too sticky). Cut out shapes with a cookie cutter and transfer them on baking sheets (leave some space between them so they don't stick together during the bake). Use the remaining dough to form another ball and start the process again.

Bake for about 15 minutes in an oven preheated to 150°C, The edges of the biscuits should be golden.

Leave to cool down for a bit, the biscuits will become crunchy. Enjoy!
