Hello everyone, it's time for another Christmas bake! Surprise it is another stem ginger recipe! I love ginger cookies and wanted to add even more ginger goodness to a chewy ginger recipe. Are you doing any baking during the holidays?!
2 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ tsp of orange extract
1/4 cup molasses
¼ cup chopped stem ginger
Zest of one orange
Optional : Stem ginger syrup glaze
3 tbs Stem ginger syrup
1 cup Confectioner sugar
1 tsp Vanilla
Pinch of salt
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the butter and sugars until combined. Add the egg, vanilla, orange, and molasses, and mix until combined.
In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, corn flour, salt, and spices.
Add the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined.
Chop the stem ginger into small pieces.
Fold in the chopped stem ginger and orange zest.
Using a medium cookie scoop, drop scoops of the dough onto a plate or two and pop in the freezer for 10-15 min.
Then place six cookie dough balls on the prepared cookie sheet, and bake for 10 - 12 minutes.
Let cookies cool on the cookie sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional icing- Put confectioner sugar in a small bowl add salt, vanilla, and stem ginger syrup mix until combined. Drizzle on the cookies!
