Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Add the maple syrup and egg white to the mixture, blending well until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, ground ginger, and spice mix.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Stir to combine and form a dough.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This will make it easier to handle and roll out.
- After chilling, remove the dough from the refrigerator. Lightly flour your rolling surface and roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Cut out shapes using your favorite cookie cutters and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are firm and the cookies are set.
- Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar with the lemon juice. Mix until smooth. If needed, add a few drops of water or more lemon juice to reach your desired consistency.
- Once the biscuits are completely cool, use the icing to decorate. You can use a piping bag or a ziplock bag with a corner snipped off to create intricate designs, or simply spread the icing with a knife.
- Allow the icing to set before serving. Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious chocolate gingerbread biscuits with a cup of tea or coffee!
Tips:
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature before you start mixing to achieve a smooth and consistent dough.
- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least an hour before rolling it out; this makes it easier to handle and helps the cookies maintain their shape during baking.
- Use cookie cutters to create fun and festive shapes for your biscuits, especially during the holiday season.
- For an extra touch of sweetness, consider drizzling melted chocolate or a simple icing made from powdered sugar and lemon juice over the cooled biscuits.
- Store your biscuits in an airtight container to keep them fresh and maintain their perfect texture.
Enjoy your delicious chocolate gingerbread biscuits with a hot cup of cocoa or tea. These delightful treats are the perfect combination of spicy and sweet, making them an irresistible addition to your cookie repertoire. Happy baking!
