What could be more delicious than a festive CBD gingerbread recipe that also kickstarts Veganuary?Gingerbread people are an oldie but a goodie, and in true Amma Life fashion, we’ve added an extra CBD twist to this tasty Christmas biscuit. You can make these ahead of Christmas Day, as long as you keep them in an airtight container they can last up to 3 weeks - if they haven’t already been eaten by then!
You can give these biscuits as a gift or hand them out on the big day. Now let’s get down to the CBD gingerbread recipe. You’ll need:
- Dairy-free butter 75g
- 300g of plain flour
- 100g of dark muscovado sugar
- 1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
- 3 tablespoons of golden syrup
- 2 teaspoons of ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon of cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon of nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon of Amma Life 5% CBD Oil 500mg
- Decorative icing pens (check they’re vegan but most usually are)
- Person-shaped cookie cutter
Method: - Melt the butter, sugar and syrup gently in a pan. Be careful not to burn the butter.
- Take the butter, sugar and syrup mixture off the heat and allow to cool slightly before stirring in your CBD oil.
- Now it’s time for the dry ingredients so add your flour, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and ground ginger into a bowl. Use a sieve if you need to remove any lumps.
- Pour your liquid mixture into your dry ingredients and gently knead them together to form a dough.
- On a grease-proof baking tray, pat the dough into a rectangle and pop it into the fridge.
6. And now we wait. Chill your dough for at least 30 mins. The key thing to remember is not to overwork your dough. This way your biscuit won’t be too tough and will have a nice snap to it.
7. Once your dough is nice and firm, take it out of the fridge and, using another sheet of grease paper, lay it on top, roll out your dough to a 1/2 cm thickness, and shape them using your cutter. This way they won’t be too thick or brittle.
8. Heat your oven to 190 degrees / 170 degrees fan-assisted and bake for 10 to 12 mins.
9. Now that they’re cooked, wait for your biscuits to cool before piping on some festive decorations.
And they’re ready to be eaten! You’ll be sure to put smiles on your friend's and family's faces this Christmas and well into the New Year with this tried and tested festive CBD gingerbread recipe!
