Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, self-raising flour, ground ginger, and baking soda. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the maple syrup and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue to mix until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cookies are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a medium-sized bowl, sift the powdered sugar. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water (or milk) and stir until smooth and of a spreadable consistency.
Once the cookies are completely cooled, spread a small amount of frosting on the flat side of one cookie. Top with another cookie to create a sandwich and gently press together. Repeat with the remaining cookies and frosting.
Enjoy your delicious Ginger Kisses! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Tips:
- Ensure that all your ingredients, especially the butter and eggs, are at room temperature before starting. This helps in better mixing and consistency.
- For a stronger ginger flavor, consider adding some freshly grated ginger along with the powdered ginger.
- If you like your cookies a bit chewier, slightly underbake them and let them cool on the baking tray.
- Experiment with different sweeteners like honey or agave syrup in place of maple syrup for a unique flavor twist.
- To achieve evenly sized cookies, use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion the dough.
With this simple recipe, you can make delicious ginger kisses that are soft, fragrant, and perfect for any occasion. Remember to follow the tips for the best results. Enjoy your homemade ginger kisses with a cup of tea or as a delightful snack at any time of the day.
