Preparation and Baking directions

This mixture can be used to make gingerbread men. This recipe is best made in a Mixmaster. Halve the recipe ingredients if making with a hand-held mixer.

Cover a baking tray with foil.
Place the first nine ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add two cups of the flour, and one vegan egg-equivalent.
Mix at low speed until well blended.
Roll out thinly and cut into desired shapes.
Place on biscuit tray
Beat remaining vegan egg-equivalent with a little water (1 tablespoon) and brush the gingerbread to form a glaze.
Place a short piece of spaghetti in the biscuit if you want to make a hole to hang them on a x-mas tree as decorations.

Cook at 180C for 10-15 minutes until lightly browned and 'set'.
Remove after cooking but while the biscuits are still warm.
Place on a rack to cool

Then bring them round to my place so I can scoff the lot!

Alternatively, enjoy yourself!
