Directions

Prep 45 minCook 15 min

1
Sift together the flour, baking soda, ginger, and cinnamon into a clean bowl. Add the butter in chunks.
2
Rub the butter into the dry ingredients with your fingers until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
3
Microwave the syrup briefly to loosen it. Once slightly cooled, add the egg and beat lightly.
4
Pour the syrup and egg mixture into the flour mixture and combine with a spatula.
5
Turn the mixture onto a lightly floured surface and knead until soft. Wrap in cling film and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
6
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking trays with parchment paper.
7
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to 0.25 inches thick. Cut into shapes with a cookie cutter.
8
Place the shapes on the baking trays, leaving space for spreading.
9
Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden brown. Cool on the tray for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
