Cake thirty six - Easter Gingerbread Cookies

Get inspired
I’d long associated gingerbread cookies to Christmas, considering the main ingredients like honey or the spice mix more wintry. Easter is usually the time for chocolate and cookies which taste more like sweetened breads. But if you try these cookies you’ll change idea, for sure, as I did! These chocolate gingerbread cookies are special, the right taste for Easter! 

125g butter, softened
165g brown sugar
1 egg
225g flour
35g raising flour
1 teaspoon ginger powder
25g cocoa powder
Beat butter, sugar and egg with electric mixer until combined. Stir in ginger powder, flours and cocoa in two batches. Knead dough on floured surface until smooth. Roll dough between sheets of baking paper until 5mm thick. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
Line oven trays with baking paper.
Using Easter cookie cutters, cut cookies and place them onto oven trays. Bake cookies from 10 to 12 minutes depending on size. 

Green Glacé Icing
125g icing sugar
some drops of water
green food colouring 
Mix icing sugar and water until spreadable. Add some green food coloring.


Decorate cookies to your taste!
