INGREDIENTS

  • 4 Tbsp white sugar
  • 2½ cups cake flour
  • 1 tsp Hinds Spices Pure Ground Ginger
  • 1 tsp Buffalo Bicarbonate of Soda
  • ¾ tsp Hinds Spices Cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp of salt
  • ¾ cup butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 Tbsp water
  • ¼ cup molasses

METHOD

  • Preheat oven to 175 degrees Celsius.
  • In a medium bowl, sift all the dry ingredients together (chef’s tip: for this step only use 2 Tbsp of sugar, set another 2 Tbsp of sugar in a small bowl aside).
  • Cream the butter and sugar together and beat in the egg, then add water and molasses.
  • Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until well combined.
  • Shape the dough into 12 small balls (the number of balls will vary according to the size of balls). Roll the balls in sugar and slightly flatten them (chef’s tip: use floured hands to shape the dough).
  • Bake for 12 minutes.
  • Let the cookies cool then transfer them to a rack to cool completely and enjoy.
