Ginger and Cinnamon Cookies

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   Remove the butter and eggs from the refrigerator in advance and leave them at room temperature for a couple of hours. In a separate container, mix ground ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, allspice, cloves, soda and salt. Mix herbs and spices.

2. STEP 2

   

   Now add flour sifted through a sieve and cocoa powder into the same container. Mix all ingredients again.

3. STEP 3

   

   Take another container, put already softened butter in it and add powdered sugar made from brown sugar. Using a mixer, “grind” the ingredients.

4. STEP 4

   

   Beat an egg into the butter mixture and add liquid honey. Mix the ingredients until smooth.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place the resulting mass in a container with mixed spices and flour. Next, knead the ginger dough with your hands. As a result, the dough should be slightly sticky and soft. The finished dough must be placed in a plastic bag or wrapped in cling film and put in the refrigerator for an hour. After this time, remove the dough from the refrigerator and divide it into at least two parts, leave one of them, and put the rest of the dough back into the refrigerator.

6. STEP 6

   

   Roll out the first piece of dough quite thinly (no more than 2 mm thick) using a rolling pin with a sheet of parchment placed on the working surface. Cookies will be baked on it, since when pieces of dough are transferred, it can become deformed, and this, in turn, will spoil the appearance of future cookies. Follow the same procedure with the remaining dough later.

7. STEP 7

   

   Now, using a metal mold, you need to cut out shaped cookies. The remaining dough must be returned to the refrigerator. Next, you need to very carefully transfer the gingerbread cookies located on a parchment sheet to a baking sheet, placing it in the oven to bake the cookies. They should be baked for literally 5-6 minutes at a temperature of 180°C.

8. STEP 8

   

   When the cookies are ready, remove them from the oven and place them on a flat surface!!! This must be done, since ginger cookies do not harden immediately, but gradually; at the beginning they are soft. When it cools down, it can be transferred.
