Gingerbread 'People' Cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 1 c Sucanat
  • 1/2 c soft butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp malt syrup or molasses
  • 1/4 tsp hazelnut extract
  • 2 - 3 tsp ginger (I use three for a nice 'snappiness' )
  • 3/4 c hazelnuts
  • 1 3/4 c Summers Sprouted Spelt or Sprouted Wheat Flour 

Instructions
 

  • Cream together and let sit for 10 minutes:  1 c. Sucanat, 1/2 cup soft butter ,  1 lg. egg,  2 Tbsp. malt syrup or molasses, 1/4 tsp. hazelnut extract, 2-3 tsp. ginger
  • Blend 3/4 c. hazelnuts in a blender until all pieces are like flakes.
  • Add to creamy mix.
  • Add and mix in:  1 3/4 cup  Summers Sprouted Spelt or Sprouted Wheat Flour 
  • Cover dough and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Roll out chunks of dough to 1/8-1/4 inch thick and cut into shapes with a cookie cutter or knife. You can dip top into granulated maple syrup crystals before placing on the cookie sheet or leave plain for later  decorating.
  • Bake on a greased cookie sheet at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes.  Cool on cookie sheet for a few minutes before removing to a rack to completely cool.
