A box of love for my munchkins

My munchkins love ginger cookies. So, mummy has to set the baking mode on. Hope they like these 'sugar-minimized' cookies. Happy 1st Advent of Sunday! <3 <3

Ingredients
150ml water
320g sugar
100 ml light syrup
300g butter
1tbsp powdered cloves
1tbsp cinnamon
1tbsp powdered ginger

700-750g flour
2tbsp bicarbonate soda (sifted)
* flour and bicarbonate soda to be whisked together

Method

1. Boil up water and sugar.
2. Remove from heat.
3. Add syrup, butter and spices. Stir till smoothly combined. 
4. Add in flour and bicarbonate soda and stir till combined.
5. Dough is a little soft but it will harden when it's cooled down.
6. Divide the dough as you wish and wrap with clingwrap and keep in the fridge for 1 day before baking. ( I have divided into 4)
7. Preheat the oven at 200 degrees. 
8. Roll out a piece of the dough till to your desired thickness. 
9. Cut out the dough with your desired shapes.
10. Lay them on a piece of baking paper and bake for about 5mins. They burn very quickly, so do check on the time. 
11. Leave them to cool and store in air-tight container for freshness.

* The dough can be kept in the fridge for a few days. You can bake them in batches. :)
