- 1 ¼ cups Whole wheat flour
- ½ cup Light brown sugar
- ½ cup Butter Softened
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Cocoa powder Unsweetened (sifted)
- 2 teaspoon Ground ginger -2 tsp
- as needed Icing – as needed
- to decorate Sprinkles – to decorate Optional
In a bowl, combine the wheat flour, cocoa powder, and ginger powder. Keep aside.
Cream the sugar and the butter in a mixer until soft and light. Add the vanilla and salt and mix again to combine.
Slowly add the flour mixture to form a dough. If needed sprinkle a teaspoon or so of water. I did not need any water to make the dough. Once the mixture incorporates, knead lightly to form a smooth dough.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about ¼ inch thick and then stamp out the shapes. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Preheat the oven to 375 F. Bake the cookies for about 10 – 15 minutes or until they are slightly firm to touch. I baked them for about 12 minutes.
Cool on the sheet until firm and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frost/ice the Iced Ginger Cookies as preferred.
