Sustainable Saturday

This recipe uses no white sugar, no milk, no eggs, no butter..

Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour
2.5 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp ground black pepper (optional) – I like it spicy
2 tsp cocoa powder
pinch of nutmeg
1/2 tsp of ginger powder
1/2 tsp of cardamom
1/3 cup of honey
1/3 cup of maple syrup
1/3 cup blue agave syrup
1 cup water
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tsp baking powder

Glazing:
Powdered Sugar
Egg white
lemon juice

Mix all spices with flours until well combined. Add olive oil, honey, syrups & water. Mix into hard sticky dough with paddle attachment. Refrigerate at least overnight for the spice flavors to combine..

Roll thin and cut shapes of your liking. For fast cutting into squares or diamonds I use pizza slicer. Bake at 350F/180C about 10-12 minutes.

For glazing mix up powdered sugar, lemon juice and egg white. Add enough powdered sugar to make a thick paste that holds it shape and does not run. Scoop into a pastry bag (or a zip-lock bag with one small corner cut off). Decorate cookies immediately after taking them out of the oven so the heat from the cookies settles the glazing fast.
