Ingredients 6 Portions

Preparation

  1. 1

    Beat two whole eggs with 180 grams of fine sugar until foamy, then add 20 grams of finely ground ginger and a tiny pinch of salt.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, sift together 200 grams of coarse wheat flour and half a sachet of baking powder, then add this to the beaten egg mixture.

  3. 3

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, knead it very lightly until smooth, then roll it out on a well-floured board to the thickness of a ruler.

  4. 4

    Using a gingerbread cutter, cut out cookie shapes from the dough and place them side-by-side on a lightly greased and floured baking sheet.

  5. 5

    Put the ginger cookies in a cool, well ventilated place for 3 to 4 hours to allow the surface to dry out slightly.

  6. 6

    Place the baking sheet in a warm oven and bake the ginger cookies until golden, then reduce the heat and allow them to cook a little longer.

  7. 7

    Allow to cool, then store in a dry place.
