Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup candied ginger, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 0.5 cup dried mango, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, powdered sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Add the vanilla extract, grated fresh ginger, and salt to the bowl and mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour to aerate it. Slowly add the flour to the butter mixture in batches, mixing on low speed until the dough comes together.
Fold in the chopped candied ginger and dried mango with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a disc. Roll the dough to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
Use a cookie cutter or a knife to cut the dough into desired shapes and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake the shortbread in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Keep a close eye to prevent overbaking.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the shortbread cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the Double Ginger Mango Shortbread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
