Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g Plain flour
- 2 tsp Ground ginger
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 100 g Unsalted butter
- 150 g Brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Golden syrup
- 1 large Egg
- 100 g Dark chocolate chips
- 50 g Crystallized ginger (chopped)
- 1 pinch Sea salt (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, sift together the plain flour, ground ginger, and baking soda. Set aside.
In a saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and golden syrup together. Stir until smooth and remove from heat to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, beat the egg. Slowly add the cooled butter mixture to the beaten egg, whisking continuously to avoid cooking the egg.
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped crystallized ginger until evenly distributed.
Using your hands, roll tablespoon-sized portions of the dough into balls and place them on the prepared trays, leaving about 2 inches of space between each ball.
If desired, lightly press a pinch of sea salt onto the top of each cookie ball for added flavor contrast.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown and the edges are firm. The centers should still be slightly soft.
Remove the trays from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the trays for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve with a hot cup of tea or coffee, and enjoy!
