Do you like ginger? Do you like chewy cookies? Yes? Then this is your lucky day! Well, not really but it is a good day, here's another easy recipe the family will love.
Ingredients
185g (10oz) Plain flour225g (8oz) Butter
140g (5oz) Soft brown sugar
140g (5oz) Caster sugar
2 x Eggs
2 tsp Ground ginger
1/2 tsp Baking powder
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Nutmeg
Squeeze of lemon and lemon zest (optional)
(Makes approx 24 cookies)
Method
1. Mix the butter, eggs and sugars until well combined.2. Gradually sift in the flour, salt, baking powder, ginger and nutmeg together.
3. Add the oats a cup at a time and the mixture will start to form a lumpy dough.
4. Add the squeeze of lemon and zest if using.
5. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper and with floured hands roll the dough in to 2 inch balls placing them on the trays allowing enough room for the cookies to spread.
6. Bake in the middle of the oven for 15 mins at 180 degrees Celsius (350f).
For a firmer more crunchy cookie bake for longer, I added more ginger as I like a hotter more spicy cookie. You can also add stem ginger or raisins which taste great too.
The dough can be rolled into a sausage shape and wrapped in grease proof paper twisting the ends. Place in the fridge and slice off the required amount of dough/cookies for fresh baked cookies when you need them. The dough will last in the fridge for up to four days.
