Ginger cookies are delicious, spicy, and aromatic treats that are perfect for any time of the year. They are often associated with the holiday season but can be enjoyed anytime you crave a flavorful and comforting cookie. Here's a basic recipe for making classic ginger cookies:
100g butter
100g sugar powder
160g all-purpose flour
10g milk powder
10g custard powder
20g ginger powder
10g cinnamon powder
2 drops Vanilla essence
1 egg
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup crystallized ginger, finely chopped (optional, for added ginger flavor)
Additional granulated sugar for rolling the cookies
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 175°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, custard powder, milk powder, ginger powder, and cinnamon powder. Mix them well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the butter, sugar, and vanilla essence until light and fluffy.
Add the egg to the butter-sugar mixture and mix well.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined. If using crystallized ginger, fold it into the cookie dough at this point.
Take small portions of dough and roll them into balls.
Roll each dough ball in granulated sugar until coated.
Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between them as they will spread during baking.
Gently flatten each dough ball with your fingers or the back of a fork.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or check the undersides, which should be golden at the end of cooking.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, store the ginger cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
Enjoy your delicious ginger cookies with a cup of tea or coffee, and they'll surely be a hit with family and friends. You can store any leftovers in an airtight container for a few days to maintain their freshness. They make a perfect treat for any ginger lover.
