Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 60 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 milliliters Sugar-free molasses substitute
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground clove
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, ground clove, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the unsalted butter until creamy. Add the sugar-free molasses substitute, egg, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until manageable.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Use a pig-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the marranitos and place them onto the prepared baking sheets.
Brush the tops of the cut dough with milk to encourage browning.
Bake the cookies for about 12-15 minutes, or until they are slightly browned.
Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
