Tips:

  • Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger, and it will give your cookies a more authentic gingerbread taste.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape better and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. You want the cookies to be slightly soft in the center.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before decorating: This will help the icing set properly and prevent it from running.
  • Get creative with your decorations: You can use a variety of icing colors and sprinkles to decorate your cookies. You can also add other decorations, such as chopped nuts, dried fruit, or even candy.

Conclusion:

Spicy ginger cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for the holiday season. They are easy to make and can be decorated in a variety of ways.
