Ginger Snap Cookies

  • 1/2 cup + 2 T (2 dl) sugar
  • 1/4 cup + 1 T (1 dl) syrup, I use Lyle’s Golden Syrup
  • 1/4 cup + 1 T (1 dl) water
  • 200 g butter
  • 3 t ground cinnamon
  • 2 t ground ginger
  • 2 t ground cloves
  • 1 t baking soda
  • 4 cups (10 dl) all purpose flour

Put the sugar, syrup and water in a large saucepan and heat until the sugar dissolve. Add the butter and let it melt. Take the saucepan off. the burner and let the liquid cool.

Add the spices, baking soda and most of the flour. Stop adding flour when the dough isn’t sticking to the saucepan anymore. Put the dough in a ziplock bag and keep it refrigerated for a couple of hours or over night.

Preheat the oven to 350 F/175 C

Cut off a piece of the dough and roll it out on a work space. Use cookie cutters of your choice and put the cut cookies on a parchment paper covered baking tray. Bake for 5-10 minutes. The time depends on the thickness of the cookies.

I only bake about a dozen cookies at a time. I love the smell of gingersnap cookies plus the cookies are always fresh this way. The dough keeps for a couple of weeks in the fridge.
