The most Fudgy Ginger and Caramel Cookies

Written by on in Uncategorized

It’s time for the most fudgy ginger and caramel cookies. Sooo lately I am going through this phase, let me just call it my cookie period. I am just craaaving cookies the whole day, and I sometimes am too lazy to make my own cookies and decide to buy one at a shop or store. And to be honest this is ALWAYS a mistake, because they are never that good and I just feel like shit when I ate it, as I feel like it was a waste of money and calories. So yeah, not gonna do that anymore. Instead I am just fantasizing about the most delicious cookies and their possible mix ins.

So I love ginger in cookies but every recipe out there always just uses ginger powder and that is not enough for me, sorry. So I though about making these amazing fresh ginger and caramel fudge cookies. That was not a mistake and I was very pleased with the results of using the fresh ginger in addition to the ginger powder in this cookie, it just gives it a little bit more of punch.

Also a tip for the ginger! Keep some fresh ginger in the freezer, it will grate really easily and keep good for a long time.

I made these cookies a couple of times now and the first time was actually a big disaster because it was late at night and I was super rushed to make them. So yeah, just take your time for these as you probably need to make multiple batches to go into the oven separately. For these cookies we are going to use a nice mix of brown and a white sugar, lots of butter make these cookies super fudgy, chewy and with crisp edges. So yeah let’s stop talking about it and actually get into baking, shall we?

Ingredients

for 14 cookies you will need:

  • 355 g | 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 225 g | 1 cup butter, melted and cooled down
  • 250 g | 1 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 50 g | 1/2 cup white granulated sugar or raw sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 150 g | 1/2 cup fudge cut into small pieces
  • 2 tbsp freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tsp ginger powder
  • 1 tsp salt

Method

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, salt and ginger powder.
  • In a large bowl add in the cooled down melted butter and mix in the sugars. Add in the eggs one by one, the vanilla and the grated ginger.
  • Fold in the flour mixture into the wet ingredients with a silicon spatula and also fold in the fudge pieces. Now chill your dough for at least 2 hours. When you are ready to bake, preheat your oven to 185°C or 375ºF.
  • Using a 1/4 cup, divide the dough into 14 pieces and roll them into balls with your hands. Place them on a lined baking sheet with 10 cm or 4 inches of space inbetween the cookies.
  • Bake for 12-13 minutes leave them cool down on the baking sheet for 5 minutes and transfer to a wire rack to cool down further. Enjoy with ya favorite cuppa tea!
