Yield Makes 24 heart-shaped cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
2 ounces (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
6 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons light-brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated ginger
1 large egg yolk
Sanding sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Sift flour, baking soda, and salt into a medium bowl. Cream butter and sugars with a mixer until pale and fluffy. Beat in ginger, then yolk.
  • Reduce speed to low, and add flour mixture gradually, beating until just combined. Wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 1 hour (or up to 2 days).
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Turn out dough onto lightly floured parchment. Roll out until 1/4 inch thick, and cut out cookies using a 1 3/4-inch heart-shaped cutter. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets. Brush each cookie with a damp pastry brush, then sprinkle with sanding sugar. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  • Bake until cookies are set and light gold around edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks for 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to racks, and let cool. Cookies will keep, covered, for up to 3 days.
