Rachel Hale is teaming up with The Christie Cookie Co. to help support the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt during the month of December. Rachel and four other chefs will be creating cookie recipes for Christie Cookie Co. to sell with 20% of the sales to go to Monroe Carell.
Hale’s Kitchen: A Dash of Ginger Cookies
Recipe makes 12- 15 cookies.
Cookie Ingredients:
2 ¼ cups paleo baking flour
1 ½ tsp ground ginger
1 ¼tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground allspice
½ tsp ground mustard
½ tsp fine salt
5 cracks of ground black pepper
¾ cup of ghee
½ cup of date sugar
¼ cup of paleo brown sugar replacement.
1 large egg yolk
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
½ cup of unsulphured molasses
1 tsp grated ginger
paleo sweetener for topping (I used RXSugar powdered Allulose)
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment
paper.
2. Whisk the flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, mustard, salt and black
pepper together in a medium bowl.
2. Beat the ghee and paleo sugars in a mixer on medium-high until light and fluffy,
about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the egg yolk and vanilla
and beat on medium speed until just incorporated, about 20 seconds. Add the
molasses and ginger and continue beating until the batter is an even light brown
color, 30 seconds more
3. Add the dry ingredients all at once, beating slowly to make a soft, smooth dough.
Use a rubber spatula to make sure all ingredients are combined. Then beat again for
20 seconds. Cover the bowl with plastic and refrigerate the dough until firm, about
25 minutes.
4. With a cookie scoop, portion the dough into a slightly heaping tablespoon for each
cookie. Roll the dough, by hand, into balls and space them 2 inches apart on a
nonstick cookie sheet. Refrigerate for 25 minutes.
5. Bake until the top is crackly, about 15 minutes. Briefly cool the cookies on the
baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
6. Put about ½ cup of paleo sweetener in a small bowl. I used RXSugar powdered
Allulose. Roll the tops of the cooled cookies in the sweetener for a finished touch!
