08 Feb Delicious ginger fig cookies (warning! very addictive) ~ recipes

The ginger fig cookies are my new addiction. Yesterday I made them again. I made them together with Maartje and Noor. Maartje wanted to eat all the batter. They are so good. I found the recipe in a little cookbook named ‘koekjes’ and adjusted it to my taste. A couple of people asked me for the recipe, so here it is! I must warn you they are very addictive…

For approximately 15-18 cookies
Preparation: 15 min, oven: 12 min

Ingredients ginger & fig cookies:

• 80 g coconut blossom sugar (kokosbloesem suiker)
• 75 g butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 egg yolk
• 2 tbs coconut oil
• 45 g figs, chopped
• 45 g candied ginger, chopped
• 120 g spelt flower
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp of ginger powder

1. Preheat the oven at 180 C and prepare a baking rack (or tray) lined with baking paper.
2. Mix the butter, coconut oil, sugar and vanilla extract with a mixer. Add the egg yolk and beat to a smooth batter.
3. Cut the figs & candied ginger into small pieces.
4. Sieve the flour and the baking powder and add it together with the chopped figs, candied ginger and ginger powder to the batter.
5. Form each cookie using about two tablespoons of dough per cookie. Roll into a ball and place on the prepared baking sheet, pressing down slightly to form a thick disc. Leave about 4 cm room between each cookie, they will spread.
6. Bake for 12 minutes, until the edges of the cookies are just turning golden.
7. Remove the cookies from the oven and let cool on the rack. In a cookie jar you can keep them for a bout a week (if they last that long…).

Let me know if you liked the ginger fig cookies.
