Hello friends, I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year 2024! I want to dedicate my first post of the new year to a delicious recipe! Today we are going to make some amazing ginger cookies. I've had this cookie recipe for a very long time and I make them every winter! I found the recipe on Karolina K's YouTube channel about four years ago. She has a lot of interesting content, but in Russian. So, today I'm going to share a delicious cookie recipe here on my blog! Let's get started!
To make ginger cookies we will need:
75 g of sugar
125 g of butter (room temp)
1 egg
100 gr honey
375 gr flour + additional flour for rolling out the dough = about 500 gr total.
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp ginger
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cloves (I don't like cloves, so I didn't add any)
STEP 1
Prepare the necessary products to make the cookies.
STEP 2
Combine butter and sugar in a deep bowl and mix until smooth.
STEP 3
Next, add the honey and egg. Also mix well using a whisk or mixer.
STEP 4
Sift the flour through a sieve into the dough. I recommend pouring the flour in portions. It will be easier to mix the dough. Add baking soda and baking powder. Then mix the dough thoroughly.
STEP 5
Add nutmeg, ginger and cinnamon to the dough. These components affect not only the taste, but also the smell. Believe me, you've never had more flavorful cookies.
STEP 6
Knead the dough well with your hands and form a ball. Put the dough in a plastic bag or wrap it in food wrap and put it in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours.
STEP 7
Our dough is ready! It has turned as hard as a rock. I suggest to divide the dough into 2 pieces. This way it will warm up faster and will be ready for manipulations with it. So, sprinkle flour on the work surface and also powder the dough and the rolling pin with flour. Start rolling out the dough.
STEP 8
Since it's winter, I found appropriate cookie molds: teddy bear, bunny, angel, Christmas tree, star. It looks really cute. With the molds, I press the dough through and I get cookie pieces like this.
STEP 9
Using a kitchen spatula, I transfer the cookie pieces to a baking tray lined with baking paper. Also, take care that the cookies are not too thin, otherwise thin dough will tear and it will be impossible to transfer them to the baking tray.
STEP 10
The final step! We send the cookies to a preheated 180 °C (356 °F) oven for 5-9 minutes. It all depends on your cookies (how thin they are) and your oven. Watch the cookies carefully in the oven so they don't burn.
Our cookies are ready! The aroma spreads all over the kitchen..... This is the real smell of winter and New Year's holidays that we all love so much! Cooking these cookies took me almost 2.5 hours, but I really enjoyed the process. I wish you a Happy New Year, success and joy! See you soon friends, bye-bye!
