- ½ teaspoons salt
- 200 grams / 7.1 oz (1 ½ c) icing sugar
- ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons milk or water
- 1½ teaspoons ground ginger*
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon*
- Food coloring of choice

- 125 grams / 4.4 oz (1/2 cup+1 tablespoon) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg

Notes
- *These do spread slightly, but not too much- so they’re really nice for rolling. The recipe can very easily be doubled to make more. *You can omit the spices if you prefer a vanilla sugar cookie instead.
