Ginger Cookies Recipe is one of the recipes prepared in most European countries for Christmas. This recipe is a spicy ginger one. These Ginger cookies are tasty, flavored with spices, and sweetened with honey for a delicious taste on Christmas Eve.
The preparation of the cookie is simple. It is one of the most beautiful moments of Christmas cooking in the family. We can decorate and prepare the ginger cookies together with our kids and having fun together. Cooking together with our kids, we educate them with a love for food and cooking in the family.
We also learn to our kids to share values and love every Christmas they will experience, and above all, knowing the Christmas message that is love.
Ingredients
- 350 g all-purpose flour
- 110 g of butter
- 150 g of sugar
- 50 g of honey
- 1-egg
- 1 tsp powdered ginger
- 1/2 tsp powdered nutmeg
- 1 tsp powdered cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp powdered clove
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- a little salt
For decor-Royal Icing
- 150 of powdered sugar
- 1- egg white
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- food colors
Directions
- In a deep bowl, we will mix all the dry ingredients. We add the cold butter into small pieces and mix it quickly all over the flour. It will create a kind of granulation.
- Add the egg and honey and continue mixing it until it makes a homogeneous dough.
- Wrap it in a bag and leave it in the fridge for one hour.
- Once the time passed, we take it out of the fridge, and with the help of a kitchen roll and some flour on both sides, we roll out the dough into a layer about one cm thick.
- With the help of cookies shapes molds (if you do not have molds, you can prepare them with baking paper), we cut the biscuits and place them in a baking pan lined with parching paper and bake them in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for about 15-18 minutes.
Let them cool and prepare the glass for decoration. - Using the electric beater, beat the egg whites and gradually add the sugar. We will also add the lemon juice.
- We will separate the Royal Icing into smaller bowls and add food coloring gel in each of them by the decorations that we chose to do.With the help of children, this will turn into fun for all ages. You can even put them on to decorate your Christmas tree. In this case, before you bake Ginger cookies, you need to form a space on top of each cookie to place strips to hang on the tree.
Let them cool and prepare the glass for decoration.
