Ginger Bread Cookies





NOTE:

It's best to use a kitchen scale whenever possible. If you don't yet own a scale, these recipes are based upon 'lightly packed' measuring cups, so whether you use the 'dip and sweep' method of measuring or the 'spooning into the cup' method, always gently press down on the mix in the measuring cup and add more to fill the cup, as necessary.



COOKIE TIPS:

1. We suggest using our new sweetener blend, S'WEEET! for our cookie recipes. It makes the best cookies!

2. If cookies are baked right after mixing they will spread more. If cookies rest they will spread and flatten less. If the cookies are refrigerated and baked cold they will be taller and not spread as much. Most bakers have a preference for each type of cookie/recipe.

3. We suggest baking off one cookie before baking the entire batch. This way, if you use substitutions (ie different sweeteners) or you don't weigh your ingredients, you can adjust the dough with a tablespoon more mix if the cookie is too flat, or add a little more soft butter or 1-2 tsp of liquid if the cookie doesn't spread enough.


INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 C MULTI-USE BAKERY MIX (187g)

3/4 C S'WEEET! Sweetener Blend (105g) *see below for substitutions

2 t Ground Ginger

2 t Ground Cinnamon

1 Stick melted and cooled Butter (112g)

2 T Molasses or Date Syrup (30g)

1 Egg Yolk (20g)

1 t Vanilla Extract


DIRECTIONS

1. Pre-heat your oven to 350°F.

2. In a medium size bowl, combine the sweetener and spices with our Bakery Mix.

3. In another bowl combine the butter, molasses, egg yolk and vanilla and mix until well combined.

4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients together and let the dough rest in the refrigerator until firm enough to handle.

5, For thicker, chewy cookies, portion onto a greased or lined sheet pan, roll into balls and slightly flatten.

Or roll-out between two sheets of parchment paper and cut into shapes (make sure the dough is well chilled for this).

6. Bake about 10-12 minutes.


*SWEETENERS VARY tremendously and will affect the final outcome of ALL baked goods.

We suggest using our new sweetener blend, S'WEEET!, real sugar or a substitute such as Swerve (IMO + Erythritol) Lakanto's Baking Blend, or Mrs. Jones blend (which contains sugar). If you prefer to bake with a liquid sweetener, you will likely need to an add additional 1-4 T Bakery Mix. Allulose and kabocha-based sweeteners (such as Bocha Sweet) will make baked goods very soft and not crispy. Erythritol can make them firm and more crumbly.


*SWEETENER SUBSTITUTIONS: To substitute S'WEEET! for Allulose, Erythritol or Bocha Sweet increase the Multi-Use Bakery Mix to 2 C (250g) and press the cookie dough balls down with your palm before baking. Cool completely before moving. To substitute S'WEEET! for real Sugar use 1/2 C (the weight is about the same as 3/4 C of S'WEEET! 105g) and increase the Bakery Mix by 1-2 T.
