Ingredients

125 g Plant-based Nuttelex

4 tbsp brown sugar

4 tbsp golden syrup

1 tsp Easy Vegan Egg powder mixed with 2 tablespoons of water mix into a paste

250 g plain flour

4 tbsp self-raising flour

1 tsp bi-carb soda

pinch of salt

1 tsp vanilla

1 tbsp ground ginger

1 tbsp cinnamon

Tools

rolling pin

baking paper

small star cookie cutter

medium star cookie cutter

string to thread the garland

Directions

1Preheat oven to 160C (fan forced)

2In a bowl cream Nuttelex, sugar, golden syrup then add the egg paste substitute, vanilla & continue to mix

3Sift the dry ingredients and add to butter mixture to form a dough

4Next, knead dough for a couple of minutes then wrap in cling film and pop it in the fridge to rest for 30 minutes

5Remove dough from fridge and roll between 2 pieces of baking paper (or a lightly floured bench) to 0.5 cm thick then cut out with star shape cookie cutter. Then make a decent size hole in each star with a toothpick or narrow straw for the string to be threaded through

6Bake for 10 minutes until lightly browned

8Stars can be hung either horizontally or vertically- lay them out with your string first to decide which way you prefer and the spacing that suits. Then thread the first star – leaving a good 15 cm of string at the end – and gently make a knot after each star to hold it in place.
