Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1/2 cup molasses
1 tsp vanilla extract
Additional 1/4 cup flour if needed
Royal icing:
2 tbsp aquafaba
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 to 2 cups sifted powdered sugar
4-5 tsp Suncore Foods® Red Beet Powder
Directions
1. Sift your dry ingredients together, set aside.
2. In a stand mixer, whisk together coconut oil, sugar, vanilla and molasses together. Add the dry ingredients. Mix on medium/low until a smooth ball starts to form, do not over mix. Add more flour if needed.
3. Roll out dough onto parchment paper or a baking mat to 1/4" thick. Try to make the dough as even in thickness as possible. Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour.
4. Preheat oven to 180c. Cut shapes out using gingerbread house templates. Transfer to parchment-covered baking sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let fully cool before moving.
5. Make the icing — In a stand mixer, beat aquafaba with cream of tartar and salt until foamy. Add all powdered sugar and beat on low speed until thick. Beat in Suncore Foods® Red Beet Powder and beat until thickened. Thin the icing with water to the desired consistency.
6. Assemble — Decorate cookie pieces with royal icing. Let dry completely. Use stiff royal icing to attach the gingerbread house together piece by piece. Have fun baking!
