A winter classic in English cuisine, gingerbread cookies are made by flavoring brown sugar-rich dough with ginger, cinnamon, and cloves, cutting it into shapes, and baking it. A balanced amount of spice gives the cookies their characteristic warmth.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Make the Dough

10 min

Beat the softened butter with the brown sugar and add the egg. Then add the flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and baking powder and knead to combine.

2

Chill

30 min

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

3

Cut Out the Cookies

10 min

Roll the dough out to 0.5 centimeters thick and cut out shapes with cookie cutters.

4

Bake

12 min

Bake in an oven preheated to 175°C / 345°F for 12 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned.

Reminder

Be sure to chill the dough before cutting it; warm dough sticks to the cutters and loses its shape. Allergens: contains wheat (gluten), egg, and milk and dairy products (butter).
