Not everybody wants to use animal products and waive Christmasy treats at the same time. So here I have 2 interesting recipes for you.

Ingredients:
- 200g vegetable butter Update: Margarine works too!
- 150g raw cane sugar
- 175g rye flour Update: Whole wheat flour makes the cookies airy and tastier!
- 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 75g coconut flakes
- 125g vegan chocolate drops (you can use something else like raisins!)
Of course you can replace the vegan ingredients if you don't wanna bake vegan.
Put the butter and the sugar into a bowl and mix it. Then mix the rye flour, baking powder and coconut flakes bit by bit.
At last put the chocolate drops in it and mix it too. When the dough is ready, put it into the fridge for one hour.
Now take a baking sheet with baking paper. It doesn't matter whether you take a big ball from the dough and press it between
the palm of your hands until it's big like the palm of your hand
OR roll out the dough and cut the cookies - the main thing is
that the dough is about 1 cm thick.
In contrast to this picture you should keep big space between the cookies. If your cookies are big like on the picture you should
make 2 rows (instead of 3). Why? You'll find it out below.
When your plate is full of cookies put it into the preheated oven (at 200°C (392°F), circulating air, about 10 minutes) until they're
lightly (!) golden brown.
Attention: the cookies become very soft in the oven! Turn it off, open the door and let them cool down for a
few minutes. If you're impatiently you can pull the baking paper onto a grid carefully and let them cool down this way.
Caution, hot!
As you see on that picture my cookies are - but only a little bit - grown together.
BON APPETIT!
Zutaten:
- 300g rye flour
- 100g vegetable butter
- 1 ripe banana
- 120g raw cane sugar
- 1 package vanilla sugar
- 1/2 package baking powder
Some powdered sugar and water (sugar glaze)
coconut flakes
Of course you can replace the vegan ingredients if you don't wanna bake vegan.
Put the butter, the raw cane sugar and the vanilla sugar into a bowl and mix it. Peel and disintegrate the banana and mix it with it.
Mix the rye flour und baking powder together and mix it bit by bit into the bowl. This can be very dusty.
Take the dough out of the bowl and knead the crumbly dough (that has a consistency like modelling clay) up to a ball with your hands.
Put the ball into aluminum foil and keep it in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
2 hours later you can roll out the dough and cut the cookies. In the meanwhile preheat the oven (170°C (338°F), circulating air).
Put the cookies onto a baking sheet with baking paper and put them for 10 minutes into the oven.
When the cookies are lightly (!) golden brown, they're done. Let them on the baking sheet for a moment so they can become hard
and cool down.
Caution, hot!
When the cookies are cooled down you can brush them - depending on how sugary you want them - with sugar glaze and sprinkle them
with coconut flakes.
The cookies don't taste like typical cookies, sure. They have a taste of bananas.
BON APPETIT!
