Ginger Cookies Recipe

These ginger cookies are soft and chewy making a great snack time partner.I loved the spice flavour a lot,even mittu loved it so much.I was a bit skeptical whether she would complain about the spice flavour but to my surprise she just loved itand asked me to reserve for her school snack box too.These cookies are simple and easy to make too.I just tried replacing 1/4 cup white flour with wheat flour but still the cookies came out soo good.I referred a recipe and modified it but forgot the link, now tried searching but couldn’t find the link 🙁

My 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.

    Hi Sharmi
    I have heard that cooking honey makes it toxic so I never use them for cooking or baking. Can honey be replaced with white or brown sugar or is there some specific reason for adding honey?
