Lenten gingerbread

The tradition of drinking tea with sweets appeared in Rus', because the main thing at the table was heart-to-heart talks, and not enjoying the drink itself, as, for example, in Japan. If you, like most of your compatriots, like to complement your tea drinking with something tasty, but are fasting, we suggest making Lenten gingerbread. Their texture is a little denser than usual, but just as tender and soft.

Lenten gingerbread - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes! Substitute sugar with an equal amount of honey for a natural sweetness. Note that honey may slightly alter the texture and baking time, so keep an eye on the cookies.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a sealed bag for up to 2 months.
Absolutely! Replace regular flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Ensure your baking powder is also gluten-free for best results.
Lightly grease the baking tray with oil or use a silicone baking mat as an alternative to prevent sticking.
Yes, this recipe is vegan as long as all ingredients (like sugar) are plant-based. Check labels to confirm.
Definitely! Fold in 1/4 cup of raisins or chopped nuts into the dough before shaping for added flavor and crunch.
For smaller cookies, reduce baking time by 2-3 minutes. For larger ones, increase by 3-5 minutes, checking for doneness.
Yes! Shape the dough into balls, freeze on a tray, then transfer to a bag. Thaw slightly before baking when ready to use.
Enjoy them warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or pair with a cup of tea. They also make great edible gifts!
Overbaking or too much flour can cause hardness. Check doneness at 15 minutes and measure flour accurately for softer cookies next time.
