1.First all dry ingredients are mixed together. So this means: You mix flour, sugar, almonds, gingerbread spice, vanilla sugar and baking powder in a bowl.
2.Now it's time for the liquid ingredients. You should warm the butter in a pot or the microwave. Then mix with the remaining liquid ingredients. Use a whisk or a hand mixer for this.
3. Finally, the liquid ingredients are mixed with the dry ones. Stir until you have a uniform dough without any lumps.
4.Now line a baking tray with baking paper and spread the dough on it. The dough should be about 1 cm high. In the preheated oven200 degrees circulating air for about 20 minutesbake.
