Slideshow: More Cookie Recipes By Magnus Nilsson Updated on February 1, 2016 Print Rate It Share Share Tweet Pin Email Photo: © John Kernick Active Time: 30 mins Total Time: 30 mins Yield: 24 Ingredients 1 1/4 cups whole-wheat flour 1 teaspoon ground ginger 1/2 teaspoon baking soda Pinch of kosher salt 1 stick plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar 2 tablespoons Lyle’s Golden Syrup (treacle) (see Note) Directions Preheat the oven to 350°. Sift the whole-wheat flour with the ginger, baking soda and salt into a small bowl. In a medium bowl, using a hand mixer, beat the butter with the sugar and syrup at medium speed until pale yellow and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the flour mixture just until incorporated. Knead the dough a few times in the bowl and divide in half. On a parchment paper–lined baking sheet, roll each piece of dough into a 12-inch log, about 1 inch wide. Arrange the logs on the prepared baking sheet 6 inches apart and bake for about 15 minutes, until golden; they will spread a lot. Transfer to a rack to cool until warm. On a work surface, cut the logs crosswise into 1 1/4-inch slices. Transfer the cookies to a rack to cool before serving. Make Ahead The cookies can be stored in an airtight container for 3 days. Notes Note: Golden syrup is widely available at Whole Foods and specialty food stores. Rate it Print
