GINGER CRUNCH

Categories     Cookies     Ginger     Bake     Christmas     Quick & Easy

Number Of Ingredients 12

Cookie base
126 g butter
125 g sugar
200g flour
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon baking powder
Cookie glaze
Melt in a saucepan
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup icing sugar
1 tablespoon golden syrup
2 teaspoons ground ginger

Steps:

  • Cookie Base Cream butter and sugar, add sifted dry ingredients. Knead well and press into a shallow tin. Bake 20 - 25 mins at 180c. Cookie Glaze Heat until melted then pour over slice while hot. If you want cookies nice and neat, cut while warm, other wise break up when cold.

Tips:

  • Fresh Ginger is a Must: Fresh ginger provides a more intense and aromatic flavor compared to ground ginger.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can result in a tough and dense cake. Mix only until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps prevent spreading and results in a more defined ginger crunch.
  • Use Parchment Paper: Lining the baking sheet with parchment paper prevents the ginger crunch from sticking.
  • Watch the Baking Time: Bake the ginger crunch until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. Overbaking can dry out the cake.
  • Cool Completely: Allow the ginger crunch to cool completely before cutting and serving. This helps the flavors to develop and the cake to set properly.
  • Store Properly: Store the ginger crunch in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
