Hey guys, welcome back to my channel, this is Shirani
Today I'll be showing you how I make these soft ginger cookies
If you're new to my channel welcome
And if you have not yet subscribed, I'll be glad to have you
I'm gonna start off by peeling my ginger and I like using a spoon to do that because its just so much easier to use
than a knife plus it's less wasteful
Now I'm going to show you this trick that I learned recently I saw this on Instagram and
I wasn't so sure about it at first
but oh my gosh, this just changed the way I grate ginger
I'll never do it any other way but this way
all you have to do is put a piece of plastic wrap over your grater and
You don't even have to cover the whole thing, just a piece that you're using
just make sure you secure it on there and I have it set on a damp paper towel
Just so it doesn't slide around too much
Then just grate away like it's nobody's business
I'm telling you. This makes it so much easier to clean up and you'll see what I'm talking about when I'm finished
Will you just take a moment and look at the grater
There is nothing left to clean oh my gosh, you don't understand, this is life-changing
Like for real this is life-changing
Thank you to that person on Instagram that made my life so much easier
Okay, now it's time to get started on the cookies to my bowl, I'm adding some shortening
White sugar
Molasses
An egg
And some water
I'm just giving everything a mix for about a minute or so with my electric mixer
Now I'm adding all the dry ingredients and I'm starting with some all-purpose flour
Salt
Baking soda
Nutmeg
Cloves
Cinnamon
and of course the fresh ginger
Give everything a good mix until thoroughly combined
You can use ground ginger if you want
But I'm telling you if you ever make it with fresh ginger, you'll never go back and use ground ginger. It makes such a difference
To me this just reminds me so much of Belizean bulla
I know I know this look nothing like bulla you might think girl you crazy that no so you make bulla
but I'm telling you it might not look like bulla or the texture's not like bulla but
the taste is there. I
might even go out on a limb and say
this better than bulla I mean
This like bulla on another level
For the Belizean people that are watching
can you please help me out and leave a comment below and
tell me if someone asks you. What da bulla
How would you describe it? I was trying to think of ways that I could tell people what it is
but it's hard to explain what it is cause
There is nothing like it. I was trying to find a picture or anything online and I couldn't even find anything
Anyways after I got everything all mixed together, I'm
Covering it with plastic wrap and I'm putting it in a refrigerator
for one hour to chill
I have my baking sheet lined with parchment paper
I'm using a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop here to put them on the pan
If you don't have one you can just use 2 spoons to do that. And I'm just putting them couple inches apart on the pan
I'm baking these at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for nine minutes
This recipe makes a lot of cookies and makes three dozen
But what I like to do is I put it in a ziploc bag and I freeze it
So whenever we want some cookies, we'll just take some out ahead of time
And then before I eat it
I just pop it in a microwave for like 10 seconds and it tastes nice and fresh like it's just out of the oven
This is what it looks like on the inside
It's like a cross between a cake and a cookie. I
don't know maybe a cake like cookie
something like that
Well, I hope you give this recipe a try and as always thank you for watching thank you for spending time with me and
I'll talk to you in my next one. Bye
