Christmas Biscuits
The Christmas season can involve people and family calling around to your home and you may feel obliged to have biscuits for guests. If you buy the sugary ones, it can be hard to resist them yourself. As well as that, a little of something can be just perfect but the shop bought biscuits can be big and easily 100 kcals each.

Ingredients
Makes 35 small biscuits
60g butter
1 egg, medium
60g Ground Almonds/almond flour
30g Coconut Flour
10g, 2 teaspoons Stevia Erylite
2 to 3 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons cinnamon
20ml, 4 teaspoons Chicory Syrup
30g, almond bits
Method
Pre-heat the oven to 180 and place a sheet of baking paper on a flat baking tray
Melt the butter
Mix the almond and coconut flour with the sweetener, ground spices and almond bits
Add the butter and the egg to the flour and use a spatula to mix well. You get a nice brownish mixture.
Roll it into a ball and place it between 2 wide pieces of baking paper.
Using a rolling pen, roll it out flat, roll in all directions so the mixture is even in thickness
Now dip a fork into the 20ml of chicory syrup and drizzle it over the top of the flattened mixture.
Using a small biscuit cutter, cut out 35 little circles or alternatively, roll 35 small little balls and then drizzle them with chicory syrup
They bake in 10 minutes. Watch them closely as they can burn fast
Cool them on a wire tray when you take them out of the oven. They are not crunchy at this point so wait until they are cold before you taste them.
You can add vanilla extract or the Neil &Massey orange extracts or you can the rind of an organic orange or lemon.
