Description
Simple and delicious: We love baking ginger cookies with candied ginger pieces. The combination of sweet and slightly spicy is awesome!
Ingredients
7 oz. (200g) butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
2 1/2 cups (300g) spelt flour*
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. ground ginger*
3.5 oz. (100g) candied ginger*, chopped
some raw brown cane sugar* for sprinkling
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and set aside. Chop the candied ginger finely and set aside.
2. Add the butter and brown sugar to a large bowl and mix on high speed until light and fluffy. Mix the flour with baking powder and ground ginger, add it to the bowl and knead briefly until you get a smooth dough. Add the chopped candied ginger and knead it in. Shape the dough into walnut-sized balls, flatten them and place them with some space in between on the baking sheet (they don’t spread a lot). Sprinkle with some cane sugar and bake for about 12-13 minutes until lightly browned. Take them out of the oven and let them cool down completely on a wire rack. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Notes
Enjoy baking!
