Ginger Cookies Recipe

Ginger cookies are soft and chewy cookies made with simple baking ingredients and warm spices. This recipe have a mild spicy taste from dry ginger and cloves, which makes it little different from regular cookies. They are perfect for evening tea or when you feel like having something mild and light with tea or coffee.

Ingredients

  • 1 and ¼ cups maida
  • cup butter
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated white sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • cup honey
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon dry ginger powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cloves powder
  • teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Measure and take flour, add it to the siever.
  • Now add cloves powder, cinnamon powder, dry ginger powder and salt.
  • 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 30 minutes. 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 10 minutes.
  • 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 8-10 minutes, 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

  • Chill the dough – I just refrigerate the dough, else it will be too sticky to handle. I never skip this step.
  • Do not overbake – You should not to bake for too long, cookies will harden after cooling. Take them out when they are lightly golden.
  • Spacing on tray – These cookies spread while baking, so leave enough space between them. I usually leave good gap.
  • Flatten slightly – Don’t press the cookies too much, just flatten little so they bake evenly.
  • Spice balance – If you are new to spice cookies, reduce ginger and cloves slightly. You can always increase next time.
