How to make Chai biscuits?

In a bowl, first mix together all the dry ingredients, then add in the coconut oil and almond milk. Mix until a smooth, dense dough forms, then refrigerate for 20 minutes. In the meantime, line a baking tray with baking paper and when the mixture has set, form small balls between your fingers and flatten them slightly by spreading them on the baking tray. Be sure to leave room for the cookies on the baking tray, as they will spread out as they bake and may otherwise collapse.

Bake the biscuits in a 180 degree oven for 16-18 minutes until golden brown. Then remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes on a baking tray before removing them from the tray.

The biscuits are soft when they come out of the oven and can fall apart, but when they cool they become crispy and very firm. Store the biscuits at room temperature in an airtight container.
