Pastry chef, Adjoa Duncan, has ‘3 Best Tips For Freezing Cookie Dough’
HONEY-GINGER DROP COOKIE
- 1 cup softened butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup honey
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 tbsp vanilla
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
METHOD
- Cream together butter, sugar and honey.
- Add one egg yolk at a time, mixing completely between each addition.
- Add vanilla.
- Mix in dry ingredients that have been sifted together.
- Scoop each cookie onto a parchment sheet and refrigerate for an hour before baking or freezing.
- Once frozen, bag all the cookies together and label the bag.
- When you’re ready to bake, make sure the cookies are at room temperature, flattened slightly and rolled in coarse turbinado or cane sugar.
- Preheated oven to 350° and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Make sure to turn the tray around half way through the time for even baking.
