Pumpkin is one of my favourite flavours. Add ginger, cinnamon, warm lovely spices and I’m in heaven! My house is currently filled with pumpkins after a recent trip to PYO Pumpkins, check out my vlog here, so I put some to good use and made these; Pumpkin & Ginger Cookies!
With a soft dough, the crystallised ginger goes really well. I recommend chilling the dough for at least an hour as it makes it easier to work with to roll into balls. If it’s hot in your kitchen, I also advise chilling again once the balls are rolled to reduce the amount of spreading.
Once baked, keep in an airtight container and they are at their best for 3-4 days.
