With a small gingerbread cookie cutter I made 34 cookies using this recipe.
What you need to do
- In a large bowl,cream the sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
- Add the salt,ginger powder,ginger juice and wheat flour and mix everything till the ghee is mixed evenly.
- Add a tbsp of milk at a time to form a dough ball.
- Cover this dough and refrigerate for 30 mins.
- Roll the dough about 1/4 inch thick and using a gingerbread cookie cutter cut the cookies.
- Place the cookies 1/2 inch apart on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Sprinkle granulated sugar on the each cookie.
- Place the cookie sheet in the freezer for 30 mins.
- Preheat the oven at 350 deg F and bake the cookies on the middle rack of the oven for 18-20 mins.Just until the edges turn light brown.

Note:If you roll the dough thin the cookies bake for 10 mins or else cookies might turn dark brown.
