BIG SOFT GINGER COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sift together the flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, then stir in the water and molasses. Gradually stir the sifted ingredients into the molasses mixture. Shape dough into walnut sized balls, and roll them in the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar. Place the cookies 2 inches apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet, and flatten slightly.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

GINGER BISCUITS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Line two large baking trays with baking parchment. In a saucepan over a low heat, melt the butter, sugar, fresh ginger and golden syrup and leave to cool.
• Mix the flour, ground ginger and bicarbonate of soda together in a bowl with a wooden spoon. Gradually stir in the cooled sugar mixture and the egg yolk and knead briefly to make a dough.
• Roll the dough into 20g balls and put on the prepared baking trays with 3cm between each to allow for spreading. Bake for 8-10 mins until golden brown. Leave to cool on the trays for a min, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

TRADITIONAL GINGER BISCUIT RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a large bowl, beat together butter, castor sugar, and brown sugar until light and creamy.
• Using a whisk, slowly add beaten egg, a little at a time.
• Sift together flour, baking powder , salt, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, and mixed spice (if using) into another bowl.
• Carefully stir flour mixture into butter, sugar, and egg mixture.
• Roll out half the dough between 2 sheets of greaseproof paper to 1/8- to 1/4-inch thick. Slide rolled dough, paper and all, onto a large baking sheet. Repeat with the second half of the dough; slide it, paper and all, onto first sheet of dough. Place baking sheet in refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
• When you are ready to cook the biscuits, heat oven to 350 F and grease a baking sheet with butter.
• Cut dough with a cookie or gingerbread man cutter to the size you wish. We used a 3-inch round cutter, and it yielded about 4 dozen cookies.
• Gather scraps, reroll between sheets of paper and refrigerate again. Continue cutting and rerolling until all of the dough is used.
• In batches, place biscuits on baking sheets. Any rolled out dough or biscuits waiting to go into the oven should be kept cold in the fridge, or they will get too soft.
• Bake each batch for 10 minutes. Once cooked, remove from oven. As biscuits will be soft at this point, carefully remove from baking sheet and leave to cool on a wire cooling tray. Once cool, the biscuits will harden and have the perfect snap.
