Instructions
1
Whisk the whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, ground cloves and salt together in a bowl.
2
In a separate bowl, beat the sunflower oil, brown sugar and molasses until smooth, then stir in the greek yogurt until fully combined.
3
Fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture until a soft, dark dough forms; wrap and chill for 30 minutes so it firms up enough to roll.
4
Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to about 4mm thickness and cut out 2 pig shapes using a cutter or template.
5
Transfer the pig shapes onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them apart, and bake at 175°C (350°F) for 9-11 minutes until just set at the edges.
6
Cool the cookies on the tray for 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
