DOUBLE GINGER COOKIES



Double ginger cookies image

If you love ginger nuts, you'll love these American-style spiced biscuits with chunks of stem ginger, dipped in dark chocolate

Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Afternoon tea, Snack, Treat

Time 32m

Yield Makes 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

350g plain flour
1 tbsp ground ginger
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
175g light muscovado sugar
100g butter , chopped
8 pieces of stem ginger , chopped (not too finely), plus thin slices, to decorate (optional)
1 large egg
4 tbsp golden syrup
200g bar dark chocolate , chopped

Steps:

  • Mix the flour, ground ginger, bicarbonate of soda, 1/2 tsp salt and sugar in a bowl, then rub in the butter to make crumbs. Stir in the chopped stem ginger.
  • Beat together the egg and syrup, pour into the dry ingredients and stir, then knead with your hands to make a dough. Cut the dough in half and shape each piece into a thick sausage about 6cm across, making sure that the ends are straight. Wrap in cling film and chill for 20 mins. You can now freeze all or part of the dough for 2 months.
  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line 2 baking sheets with baking parchment. Thickly slice each sausage into 12 and put the slices on the baking sheets, spacing them well apart and reshaping any, if necessary, to make rounds. Bake for 12 mins, then leave to cool for a few mins to harden before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of gently simmering water, making sure that the water isn't touching the bottom of the bowl. Dip half of each cookie into the chocolate - you may need to spoon it over when you get to the final few. Decorate with a slice of ginger, if you like, and leave to set. Will keep for 1 week in an airtight container.

Tips:

  • Use fresh spices: Freshly ground spices will give your cookies the best flavor. If you don't have fresh spices, you can use store-bought spices, but make sure they are of good quality.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough will make it easier to roll out and will help the cookies hold their shape better.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The cookies should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If you bake them at a higher temperature, they will brown too quickly and the centers will be undercooked.
  • Don't overbake the cookies: The cookies are done baking when they are just set and the edges are just starting to brown. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

Double stuffed gingerbread cookies are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for the holidays. With a little planning and effort, you can make these cookies at home and impress your family and friends. Just be sure to follow the tips above to ensure that your cookies turn out perfectly.
