Instructions

• Now add baking powder.
• Sieve it for even mixing, set aside.
• In a mixing bowl, add butter. Add brown sugar. Beat sugar and butter well until it becomes soft and smooth.
• Add the egg and beat it (I used the hand beater so just beat for just few seconds), then add honey.
• Whisk it ,now take the flour with spice mixture.
• Add it and beat it again just to bring everything together.
• Now use a spatula to mix well. It will be gooey so just mix and bring together.
• Cling wrap it and refrigerate it at least for 30mins.Use a tablespoon measuring spoon to scoop. This is to get even sized cookie.
• Roll it using your palms, add it to sugar roll it.
• Preheat oven at 180 deg C for 10mins.
• Repeat the same until the entire dough finishes.
• Arrange it in a baking tray with butter paper laid on it.
• Using a flat bottomed cup, flatten it slightly.
• Bake in preheated oven for 8-10mins, timing depends on the size of the cookie too
• .Just keep an eye after 8mins.
• Bake till the top turns golden brown and starts to crack.
• Carefully remove them from butter paper then cool in wire rack.
• Cool down and then store in airtight container. Serve Ginger Cookies warm with a glass of milk or as a tea time snack.

Notes

• Do not overbake, the cookies will become hard. The cookies should be golden brown.
• Refrigeration is a must else you cannot roll them.
• These cookies spread out so arrange them accordingly leaving enough space between each cookie.
• I used cane sugar.
• If you don’t have electric hand mixer, you can use a whisk but it takes a bit of effort to bring together.
• I used 1 cup maida and 1/4 cup whole wheat flour.
• I kept the tray in fridge until preheating time may be for 5mins.
• I got around 12 medium sized cookies.
• If the dough is too sticky then grease the butter paper. I did not grease as there was no need.
• The baking timing depends on the cookie size and thickness. If you are making a slighter thicker cookie then it might take 15 mins to get baked fully, so adjust the timing accordingly.
