“Mamma I have a suggestion for your next baking project.”

This sentence is enough to scare me!

I go off baking!

But it was Christmas time!! The request was for Gingerbread Cookies.

Thought I was not sure if they will like the cookies accepted and said “#FireUpYourOven".

I was quite surprised they liked it but then the hint of ginger in these cookies was tantalizing not overpowering as I assumed.

I choose to make them molasses free as I do not have access to molasses. I assume with molasses will taste just as awesome.

Recipe
Source: Here

Ingredients:

1 cup butter
¾ cup brown sugar
1 egg
2 ½ cup Maida/APF
2 tsp cinnamon powder
½ tsp clove powder
½ tsp nutmeg powder
2 tsp ground ginger

Method:

Cream together softened butter, brown sugar and white sugar till it becomes pale.
Beat in the egg.
In a separate bowl blend the dry ingredients.
Blend in the butter mixture until well mixed and your dough forms a ball.
Flatten the dough and wrap in cling film and refrigerate for at least ½ an hour.
Once ready to bake, preheat the oven to 180C/ 350°F.
Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface till about ⅛ inch thick, cut in shapes (I did not).
Transfer on a lightly greased mould keeping space in between the cookies as they will spread.
Bake for about 7 minutes or golden brown around the edges.
Cool completely on a wire rack.
Once cool,you can frost them or eat them plain. In my house we had them plain.

I like the spicy taste of ginger but others hate it. So I have been skeptical about trying these...
