Equipment

  • cookies cutter

Ingredients

  • 2 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 egg

Spices Mixture for Topping:

  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, ground cardamom, and sugar.
  • In a large mixing bowl, swift the flour, add baking soda, ground ginger, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Shape the cookies using cookie cutters. Gently transfer the cookies to a parchment-lined baking tray. Sprinkle generously each cookie with the spices mixture. Repeat with the remaining dough.
