Preparation

Step 1

How to make the recipe?
Heat a pan with water and grated jaggery.
Keep stirring and simmer until the mixture thickens. Switch off the gas and place aside.
Sift the flour, whole wheat flour, spice powder, salt, rice flour, baking powder, salt if using and cooking soda.
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add molasses and beat until they blend well.
Fold the sifted flour.
Add flour into 2 batches.
Use your hand to get the dough together. But ensure you don't over-mix the dough. Just gently get them together.
If the dough is too sticky then add some flour if too dry then add milk.
Freeze the dough for 10 mins then roll them with a pin roller. Dust some flour before rolling them.
Cut them with ginger-man cookie cutter. Alternatively you could make small balls and gently flatten them.
Place them on a greased plate or dish.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180ºC for 16-17 mins or until the edges turn light brown in color.
Allow the cookies to cool and store them into an air-tight container.
If you wish you could use your own favorite icing on them however it's optional. Serve your gingerbread man cookies with tea or coffee.
