Orange and Ginger Cookies
Punchy orange and spicy ginger all in one bite - these cookies are great with a cuppa tea!
Servings: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter 227g (room temperature)
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar 200g
- 2 cups All-purpose Flour 250g
- 2 Oranges
- 3 tablespoon Ground Ginger
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F / 180°C and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper
- Beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy
- Add the zest of 1-2 oranges, depending on how punchy you want the orange flavour to be
- Squeeze the juice of one of the oranges into the mixture (about 4 tablespoons)
- Add the flour and ground ginger and mix together until a dough forms. If it won't come together into a dough, add a little more juice from the orange
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about ½ an inch thick and cut into desired shapes - this dough will spread very slightly, but not much
- Bake for 16 minutes or until the edges just start to turn golden
