Ingredients and Possible Replacements
For the perfect Choc Chip Ginger Cookies, gather the following precise quantities:
2 & 1/4 cups plain flour
1/2 cup melted butter
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
Ezoic
2 large eggs
3/4 cup chocolate chips
2 tsp ginger powder
Ezoic
1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1/2 tsp salt (Skip if using salted butter)
Feel free to experiment with these ingredients. Consider using alternatives like whole wheat flour for a healthier option or dark chocolate chips for an intense cocoa flavor.
Steps
In a large bowl, add the melted butter, brown and white sugar, then mix well.
Mix in one egg at a time. Sift in the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, ginger powder, cinnamon powder, and salt.
Add the chocolate chips and gently mix them in.
Use an ice cream scoop or a spoon to scoop out the dough. Roll each dough piece into a smooth ball.
Line the baking tray with parchment paper. Place the cookie doughs, leaving space between each cookie.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180 Degrees Celsius for 12-14 minutes. Avoid leaving them in the oven for too long to prevent hardness.
Top 4 Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
Mistake 1: Overmixing the Dough
Overmixing can result in dense and tough cookies. To avoid this, mix the ingredients until just combined. Overmixing can lead to a change in the cookie’s texture.
Mistake 2: Incorrect Baking Temperature
Ensure your oven is preheated to 180 Degrees Celsius. Deviating from the recommended temperature can cause uneven baking and affect the overall quality of the cookies.
