German ginger cookies

These ginger cookies are more a ginger-spiced sugar cookie than what you may be more familiar with, but they are incredibly tasty.

Ingredients
- 7 tablespoon butter 100g, unsalted
- ½ cup sugar 100g
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour 140g plain flour
- ½ cup cornstarch 65g corn flour
For the chocolate glaze
- ½ cup confectioners sugar 70g icing sugar
- ½ tablespoon cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Cream together the butter and sugar in a stand mixer/food processor or with a hand mixer until smooth and slightly glossy. Add the egg and vanilla and blend in.
- Add the ginger, baking powder, flour and cornstarch and mix in at a low speed to save the flour going everywhere. Bring the mixture together as a ball and chill for around 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375F/190C.
- Roll out the chilled dough fairly thin on a floured surface with a floured rolling pin. Use cutters (shapes, circles, as you prefer) to cut out cookies and transfer to a lined baking sheet/tray/cookie sheet. Repeat with all the dough.
- Bake for approx 10 minutes until just starting to brown. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Sift the confectioners sugar into a small bowl and mix with the cocoa powder and water. Blend until smooth, then either spread on the cookies with a flat knife for a simple glaze, or transfer to a small piping back (or small freezer bag then snip off a corner) and decorate as you choose. Note if you glaze more fully, you may need a little more glaze.
