Ingredients list for ginger lemon cookies
- 2 1/2 ounces (70g) wheat flour
- 1 ounce (30g) chestnut flour
- 1 teaspoon of dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- Zest of one lemon
- 1 3/4 ounces (50g) unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 ounces (40g) blond sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
Directions
1. Sift flour and dry yeast together.
2. Add ginger, lemon zest, and sugar. Mix all together.
3. Add honey (or maple syrup). Let the butter come to room temperature and add it to the mixture.
4. Mix well and form a ball of dough by hand.
5. Shape a roll of dough and let it rest in the fridge for about an hour to straighten it.
6. Cut thin slices and cook your cookies for 10 minutes in a preheated oven at 360°f (180°c). These cookies taste like gingerbread!
Cooking tips:
- If you lack time and you don’t want to let the dough rest in the fridge: spread it with your favorite pinwheel, then use small pastry rings or cookie cutters. But don’t make your ginger cookies too flat, because they’ll be way too crisp.
- Brush your ginger lemon cookies with honey when they come out of the oven.
