Notes about this recipe

    Baking with my 3.5year old so we made aircraft! I mixed by hand as couldn't be bothered to get the mixer out but it worked really well and it didn't take long to combine at all. I followed the recipe but they had a bit longer in the fridge, this was fine though and the dough was easy to roll out. They are really tasty and you would never guess they are gluten free! The Chinese 5 spice was really nice in them but I'd probably play around with the spices next time - I think speculoos spice would be delicious here. I got 16 hawk and one helicopter from the mix. One to make again.

    Taste was great but I made them too thin and then slightly over baked. User error in this case. Will try again and will follow directions next time.

    I've made this with the Chinese 5 spice, as well as a homemade chai mix, both are delicious. These are very yummy but seem to depend heavily on how fresh my ground almonds are - when ground fresh at home, these have a lovely, luscious, almost brownie-like texture. When using store bought almond meal, they cool to such a hard texture, you could break a tooth!

    Delicious; the 5-spice works beautifully here and the texture is lovely. I imagine that mixed spice or Lebkuchengewürz would work well too.

    The texture is wonderful, but the Chinese five spice is too savoury (containing onion powder!) and doesn't belong in a chocolate cookie at all. I'll be making this again but substituting mixed spice or a combination of cinnamon and nutmeg.

    They have a wonderful chewy texture, the orange zest & Chinese 5 spice really work together.
