Ingredients
- plain flour - 225g, plus extra for dusting
- brown sugar - 165g
- ginger - 2 tsp, ground
- mixed spice - 1 tsp
- cinnamon - 1/2 tsp
- butter - 150g, roughly chopped
- egg - 1, yolk only
- raw sugar - 55g
Method
- Place flour (225g), brown sugar (165g), ginger (2 tsp), mixed spice (1 tsp), cinnamon (1/2 tsp) and butter (150g) in the bowl. Mix Speed 6 / 10 seconds. The mixture will look crumbly.
- Add egg yolk (1) to the bowl. Mix Closed Lid / Kneading Function / 10-20 seconds.
- Bring the dough together on a floured surface and knead until smooth. Cover the ball of dough with clingfilm and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Divide dough in half. Roll each portion between two sheets of baking paper about 3mm thickness. Return to the fridge for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 180C and line three baking trays with baking paper.
- Cut shapes out of dough and place on trays. Sprinkle with sugar (55g).
- Bake for about 10 minutes (depending on size of cookies) until golden. Cool on trays.
Freezer Tip:
- After Step 3 divide the dough into two portions. Roll each portion into a log, wrap in clingfilm and freeze. As required, you can slice off a piece of cookie dough and bake as per the instructions above but adding a little extra time. These cookies do not spread very much when baking.
