Categories     dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 2 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/4 cup shortening
1 egg yolk plus 1 egg, whisked
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup orange liqueur
2 tablespoons bourbon
1/3 teaspoon salt
3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/3 cup light brown sugar
Powdered sugar, optional
Eggnog, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and prepare 3 cookie sheets with silicone mats or nonstick sprayed parchment paper.
  • In a mixer with a whisk attachment, mix shortening and egg yolk for 3 to 4 minutes or until airy. Then add sugar, orange liquor, bourbon and salt, mixing again for 2 to 3 minutes until well mixed. Remove from mixer. Then in a bowl, combine flour and baking soda, whisking until well mixed. Once flour/baking soda is mixed, add sugar/shortening and mix well until all flour has been evenly mixed into sugar liquid. After mixing, allow mixture to sit in refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • After cooling, roll dough out to 1/4-inch thickness with a rolling pin on a clean flour counter. Cut into desired cookie shapes, then repeat process until all dough is cut. Next, place cookies on prepared cookie sheets 3 to 4 inches apart.
  • Finally blend cinnamon, ginger, and brown sugar in a small bowl until well mixed. Then brush cookie with the whisked egg and finish with topping, spreading evenly. Then bake for about 15 minutes or until done.
  • Finish with powdered sugar, serve with eggnog and enjoy.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh oranges and ginger.
  • Grate the orange zest finely so that it distributes evenly throughout the cookies.
  • Don't overmix the dough, as this will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking, as this will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set, as overbaking will make them dry.

Conclusion:

Orange-ginger cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are packed with flavor and have a soft and chewy texture. These cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
