Tired of the same old chocolate chip cookies? Looking for a sophisticated recipe that will appeal to more adult tastes? Try these spicy ginger cookies for a rare treat.

What you need:

  • 11 oz plain flour  
  • 3 tbsp potato flour  
  • 4 oz powdered sugar  
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped ginger  
  • 1 1/2 tbsp finely grated lime peel  
  • 1/4 tsp sweet chili powder  
  • 9 oz cold Lurpak® Unsalted Butter 

What to do:

  1. Mix plain flour, potato flour, icing sugar, ginger, lime peel and chili in a bowl.
  2. Cut the butter into smaller pieces and crumble it into the flour-mixture, until it looks like grated cheese.
  3. Knead the pastry lightly and roll it to 4 strips (each approx. 8″). Press each strip a little to make it approx. 1 1/4″ wide. Leave the pastry to rest, covered, in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or in the freezer for approx. 30 min.
  4. Cut each strip into 1/4″ thick slices. Place the slices on baking trays lined with baking paper and bake the biscuits in top of the oven. The baked biscuits can be kept in an air-tight container for approx. 5 days or they can be frozen.

Baking Time: Approx. 8 min. 400°F

TIP: The biscuits can be made without ginger, lime and chili. When you bake biscuits it is important to keep an eye on the biscuits frequently, as the temperature of the oven can vary.
