Total Time:Ingredients
For the Cookies:
- ½ cup honey
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- ¼ cup unsalted butter cut into cubes
- 1 large egg beaten
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup ground almonds
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground allspice
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp ground cloves
- ¼ tsp grated nutmeg
- If you don’t have (or want to buy) all the spices, you can also use: 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice, 1/4 tsp cloves, and 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 package Back Oblaten (wafers), in the size you desire (I did 70mm, and they were the standard size)
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp rum (optional)
For the Chocolate:
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or butter
Instructions
- In a pot over low-medium heat, mix the honey and sugar and stir together just until the sugar dissolves.
- Immediately add the butter and stir until the butter melts. Turn off the heat and remove from the stove.
- Stir in the baking powder, soda, salt, spices, and egg.
- Add the flour and ground almonds. Mix until you have a soft and slightly sticky dough. Be careful not to add too much because you will be rolling the dough, just enough to where it’s not dry.
- Spray your hands with cooking spray and gather the dough into a ball.
- Cover the mixing bowl with a towel and leave to rest for at least an hour or even overnight at room temperature.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line your baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
- Space the Back Oblaten out on the silicone mat, and then scoop the dough out into small mounds on top of them, and smooth out the top, making sure the dough doesn’t quite reach the edge of the Back Oblaten. (They will spread and rise a bit in the oven. It may help to do a few test cookies to get an idea of how they will spread on the wafer.)
- Bake cookies for 12 minutes.
- Transfer the cookies carefully to a wire rack and allow to cool completely.
- Mix together all the glaze ingredients in a small bowl until you have a thin glaze. Also melt the chocolate with the coconut oil.
- Dip the cookies in glaze or chocolate, and allow them to dry. You can add a second layer of glaze if desired.
