Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 125 grams unsalted butter (softened)
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 80 grams unsalted butter (softened, for filling)
- 150 grams powdered (icing) sugar
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer or wooden spoon.
Add the golden syrup to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
Sift the all-purpose flour, ground ginger, baking soda, and ground cinnamon into the bowl. Mix gently until fully incorporated and the dough starts to come together.
Add the milk and stir until you achieve a soft dough consistency.
Using a teaspoon, scoop small portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking trays, leaving space for spreading during baking.
Lightly flatten each ball of dough using the back of a fork or the palm of your hand.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and just firm to the touch.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the trays for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
To make the filling, beat the softened butter in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered (icing) sugar, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the vanilla extract to create a fluffy buttercream filling.
Once the cookies are completely cooled, pair them based on similar sizes. Spread a generous layer of buttercream filling on the flat side of one cookie and sandwich it with another.
Repeat until all the cookies are filled. Enjoy your homemade Ginger Kisses with a cup of tea or coffee!
