Spiced ginger cookies are a delightful treat, perfect for any season. With a rich blend of ginger and cinnamon, these cookies offer a perfect balance of spiciness and sweetness. The use of both ground ginger and fresh ginger root enhances the flavor, making these cookies a must-try for ginger lovers.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. This can be done using an electric mixer set to medium speed for about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg and maple syrup to the bowl. Continue to mix until the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground ginger, and ground cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on a low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the cookies remain tender.
- Gently fold in the finely grated fresh ginger until it is evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Place the granulated sugar in a small bowl. Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll each portion into a ball. Roll each ball in the granulated sugar until well-coated.
- Place the sugar-coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden and the centers are set but still soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve and enjoy your delicious spiced ginger cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
Tips:
- Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to avoid overmixing and ensure a lighter texture.
- Use freshly grated ginger root for a more intense ginger flavor.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to help the cookies hold their shape.
- Roll the cookie dough balls in granulated sugar before baking for a crispy exterior.
- Bake on parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
These spiced ginger cookies are not only delicious but also easy to prepare. With a few simple steps and the right ingredients, you can create a batch of cookies that will impress family and friends. Enjoy them with a warm cup of tea or coffee for the perfect treat!
