Soetkoekies

🍪 Soetkoekies are sweet biscuits with a light spice fragrance.

Ingredients

• 300 g T55 wheat flour
• 120 g butter
• 100 g sugar
• 1 egg, 50 g without shell
• 20 ml semi-skimmed milk
• 5 g baking powder
• 2 g ground cinnamon
• 1 g ground ginger
• 1 g salt

Preparation

Mix flour, baking powder, spices, and salt. Add the butter in small cubes and rub with fingertips until sandy.

Beat the egg with sugar and milk. Pour into the sandy mixture and bring the dough together without kneading for too long.

Form a disc, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 175 °C and line two baking sheets.

Roll out to 4 mm on a lightly floured surface. Cut out thirty biscuits of about 5 cm; gather the scraps without working them too much.

Bake each sheet for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden. Adjust the time if the pieces are smaller.

Let the biscuits firm up for a few minutes on the baking sheet then transfer to a wire rack. They become crispier as they cool.
