    Today’s Cookie Friday cookies are pretty simple and easy to prepare cookies. Nothin’ fancy, just good ole sugar cookies ;) I bet you have all the ingredients at home, so grab them and start baking! If you tasted one of these Brown Sugar Cookies, you know what I mean: Simply D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!

    In Germany we don’t have this kind of cookies. Similar ones maybe called “Mürbeteigkekse” – but they are normally bit dry and crumbly. These cookies here have a crisp exterior and are still soft inside. Exactly how perfect cookies should be. How soft is up to you and the time you bake them, so don’t let them bake for too long, or they will end up crumbly like the German cookies :P

    Once more – start heating the oven and get s***t done! :P Exuse my french! I mean – start baking! There is nothing better than a batch of slightly warm cookies. A glass of milk and nothing else matters. I guess I should start baking things like that on Monday morning to get through the week :P

    INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN

    (about 16 cookies)

    2 cups (260g) all-purpose flour
    2 tsp. cornstarch
    1 tsp. baking soda
    1 tsp. ground cinnamon
    1/4 tsp. ground ginger
    1/4 tsp. salt
    3/4 cup (170g) butter, melted
    1 cup (200g) muscovado sugar
    1/2 cup (100g) sugar
    1 large egg
    1 tsp. vanilla extract

    1/4 cup (50g) sugar, for coating

    (16 Cookies)

    260g Mehl (Type 405)
    2 TL Speisestärke
    1 TL Natron
    1 TL gemahlener Zimt
    1/4 TL gemahlener Ingwer
    1/4 TL Salz
    170g Butter, geschmolzen

    50g Zucker, zum Wälzen

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    1. Mix the flour with the cornstarch, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Set aside. Melt the butter and let cool down a bit.

    2. In a large bowl mix the sugars with the melted butter until well combined. Add the egg and mix on high speed until the mixture is lighter in color and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mix in. Add the flour mixture and mix until just combined – do not overmix. Cover the bowl and place in the fridge for at least 1 hour.

    3. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and set aside. Add the sugar for the coating to a small bowl. Make balls out of the dough (about 2 tablespoons of dough each) and roll in the sugar. Place with enough space in between on the baking sheet (they spread a lot) and bake for 12-13 minutes. Take out of the oven and let cool down on the baking sheet until you can move them – takes about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool down completely. Repeat with the remaining dough.

    1. Das Mehl mit der Stärke, Natron, Zimt, Ingwer und Salz vermischen. Zur Seite stellen. Die Butter schmelzen und etwas abkühlen lassen.

    2. In einer großen Schüssel die beiden Zuckersorten mit der geschmolzenen Butter gut verrühren. Das Ei zugeben und auf höchster Stufe aufschlagen, bis die Masse cremig und heller wird. Vanille Extrakt zugeben und unterrühren. Die Mehlmischung zugeben und nur kurz unterrühren – nicht zu viel rühren! Den Teig abdecken und für etwa 1 Stunde in den Kühlschrank stellen.

    3. Den Ofen auf 160°C (325°F) vorheizen. Ein Backblech mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen. Den Zucker zum Wälzen in eine kleine Schale füllen. Aus dem Teig kleine Kugeln formen (je etwa 2 Eßlöffel Teig), im Zucker rollen und dann mit genügend Abstand auf das Blech legen und für 12-13 Minuten backen. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und auf dem Blech so lange abkühlen lassen, bis man die Cookies bewegen kann – dauert etwa 10 Minuten, dann auf einem Kuchengitter komplett auskühlen lassen. Mit dem restlichen Teig wiederholen.

    About me


    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
