You need to try these super soft chocolate gingerbread cookies 🎄

They’re refined sugar free, gluten-free and vegan!

Ingredients for 14 gingerbread cookies:
1 cup (200 g) pitted dates
1/4 cup hot water (to let the dates soak in)
1/2 cup (100 g) unsweetened applesauce
1 cup (100 g) ground almonds
1 cup (100 g) ground hazelnuts
1 tsp gingerbread seasoning
1 tbsp ground flax seeds
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
grated peel of 1 orange
1 tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice
1/4 tsp baking soda

3.5 oz ( 100 g) unsweetened (semi) dark chocolate

optional: baking wafers (2.7 inch / 7 cm)


Preheat oven to 320 F/ 160 C.
Let the pitted dates soak a bit in hot water. Blend dates, the water, and apple sauce in a food processor.
In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients (the sequence of ingredients doesn’t really matter).
The batter should be sticky - if too dry, add a bit of water. If too wet, add slightly more ground almonds or hazelnuts.
Don't worry if you don't have the right tools to cut out the gingerbread. Moisten your fingers and divide the dough into small balls and place them on baking wafers or on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Flatten them a little until they have a gingerbread shape.
Bake for 16-18 minutes in the oven. Make sure that they are slightly too soft rather than too hard. Let them cool completely. Melt the dark chocolate and coat the gingerbread with it.
Leave the gingerbread to dry and store in an airtight container.

Enjoy!
