Ginger Cookies: Our Best Recipes
Ginger cookies - baking with the magic spice
Ginger from India is a very healthy and increasingly popular spice. It tastes fresh, dried, candied, in tea, chopped and grated as ginger powder. Ginger is also excellent for baking - our biscuits prove it!
Refined cookies with ginger
The idea to use ginger also in the Christmas bakery comes from England. The former colonial power discovered the miracle spice early for the versatile kitchen and knows ginger cookies for a long time. The special feature of these Christmas cookies: their refined taste, which varies between sweet and spicy and is wonderfully spicy.
The classic ginger cookies are made from grated ginger, flour, sugar, vanilla sugar, egg yolks, butter and crème fraîche. Clove and cinnamon then round off the spicy taste of the ginger for Christmas. Also important if you bake the flat biscuits: staghorn salt. Thanks to this (purely vegan) stimulant, biscuits that are not supposed to rise will become beautifully loose and elastic without going up in the air. If you do not have staghorn salt, you can also use potash or, if necessary, baking soda for your ginger biscuits.
Creative Christmas Bakery: Colorful ginger cookies
But in addition to this classic recipe for English ginger cookies, there are also a variety of cookies, which gain greatly in aroma through ginger. In our Recipe Range above, we present yummy Christmas cookies with ginger in all sizes and shapes.
We prefer working with the spice in its candied form. For example, it gives our brown cake a particularly refined nuance and gives our chocolate-ginger-butter biscuits a sugary and spicy touch. Our snowballs with ginger are then the ideal Christmas cookies. Why? Because they keep the dream of white Christmas alive. The trick: The ginger biscuits are made from coconut liqueur and white couverture and do not need to be baked. And if that's not enough for you, we've developed cookies with our Ginger Christmas tree that could hardly be more festive.
By the way, dear ginger fans: If you can not get enough of the exotic flavor you should take a look at our ginger recipes. There we show how to use the spice (apart from ginger cookies) in soups, salads and other dishes.
