I found this recipe in my kitchenaid cook book, so I want to share with you. Let's make them this Christmas/winter.
Version without glazing the cookies
Something to pay attention in this recipe is that you need to prepare the night before you bake...
Ingredients
250ml honey
175g dark brown sugar
1 egg
1tbsp dark rum
Grated zest of 1 orange
300g flour
1tsp cocoa powder
1/2tsp cinnamon powder
1/4tsp coriander powder
1/4tsp cardamom powder*
1/4tsp clove powder
1/4tsp nutmeg powder
1/2tsp salt
1/2tsp baking powder
50g finely chopped candied orange peel**
50g finely chopped hazelnuts**
1 egg yolk
1tbsp water
*can be replaced by 1/8tsp nutmeg or 1/8tsp clove and 1/8tsp cinnamon
** I didn't add them
Instructions
1. Heat honey in a saucepan until the bubbles appear
Remove from heat & stir in sugar, egg, rum and orange zest
Set aside
2. In a large mixing bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, spices, salt and baking powder, mix well
Add in honey mixture, mix well
Add candied orange peel and hazelnuts
Let it chill overnight in the fridge
Note: At this stage the mixture should look a bit liquid, don't worry, it is normal
3. The next day, preheat oven at 190°c
Line the baking tray with baking sheet
4. Divide the dough into 4 portions
Flour heavily on the working surface. Use a solid spetula to scrap 1/4 dough : it is normal if you find it very sticky
Put back the rest of the dough in the fridge, keep it chill
Note: You can use the 2nd spetula to help to scrap the dough on the working surface
5. Roll out the dough to 1/2cm thick
Stamp out 5cm or other shapes and place on the tray
6. Mix the egg yolk with water and brush it on the dough
7. Bake for 10-12mins or until it's golden brown
Let cool on the cooling rack - it is still soft when it is hot, so just leave it cool down before you touch them!
8. Repeat step 4-7 for 3 more times :)
Enjoy!
