Biscuiti fara gluten cu ghimbir / Gluten-free ginger cookies

Nu mai e nici un secret ca ador biscuitii :) Mai ales ca mai rontai la ei cand sunt la birou si mi-e pofta de ceva bun. Ca sa evit tentatiile din comert, mi-i prepar eu singura si astfel pot si experimenta cu ce combinatii de arome imi plac :) Biscuiteii acestia cu ghimbir sunt tare gustosi si condimentati, aduc putin cu turta dulce chiar. Fragezi si putin croncati, va vor placea cu siguranta ;)

Ingrediente (20 buc):

• 1 1/2 cana faina de orez (230g)
• 2/3 cana xylitol (120g)
• 3 lg miere
• 2 oua
• 2 lg ulei de cocos
• 1/3 cana ghimbir confiat tocat marunt (40g)
• 1 lgt praf de copt
• 1 lgt ghimbir pudra
• 1 lgt scortisoara
• 1/2 lgt nucsoara

Batem bine cu mixerul ouale, xylitolul si uleiul de cocos. Adaugam cu o spatula/lingura de lemn si faina amestecata cu praful de copt, condimentele si ghimbirul confiat. Modelam biscuiti: facem niste bilute micute pe care le turtim.

Eu le-am facut si niste semne haioase cu furculita :) Ii coacem cam 20 de minute la foc mediu (170 C) pana se rumenesc putin de tot pe margini. Ii lasam la racit pe un gratar. Pofta mare!

ENGLISH VERSION

It’s not a secret anymore that I am so into cookies :) Especially that I nibble on them at work, when I crave for a delicious treat. To avoid store bought temptations, I make them myself, this way I can also experiment what combinations of flavors I like :) These ginger cookies are really tasty and spicy, they resemble ginger bread a little. Tender and slightly crunchy, you’ll definitely love them :)

Ingredients (20 pcs):

• 1 1/2 cup rice flour (230g)
• 2/3 cup xylitol (120g)
• 3 tbsp honey
• 2 eggs
• 2 tbsp coconut oil
• 1/3 cup finely chopped candied ginger (40g)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp powdered ginger
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

Whisk the eggs with the xylitol, honey and oil. Gently incorporate the flour mixed with baking powder, spices and candied ginger. Shape the cookies: mold small balls that you flatten with your palm. I made some funny designs with a fork :)

Bake them for about 20 min in the medium preheated oven (170 C) until their edges turn slightly crisp and golden. Let them cool on a wire rack. Enjoy!
