Ginger and carrot cookies

Ginger and carrot cookies are a delicious combination that unites the spicy and aromatic flavor of ginger with the natural sweetness of carrots. These cookies have their roots in the tradition of gingerbread cookies consumed in many cultures during the winter season, especially in European countries. In Latin America, although the use of ginger is not so predominant in traditional baking, healthy ingredients like carrots and yogurt are increasingly being incorporated into sweet preparations for a nutritious touch. In some countries, these cookies may be known simply as "ginger cookies" or "carrot cookies," although the fusion of both ingredients is a more modern and healthy proposal that has gained popularity recently.

Their soft texture and the perfect balance between spices and sweetness make them ideal for sharing at family gatherings or accompanying a cup of tea or coffee. Furthermore, they are a healthier option compared to conventional cookies, thanks to ingredients like whole wheat flour, low-fat yogurt, and honey as a natural sweetener.

How to Make Ginger and Carrot Cookies

Ingredients: All-Purpose Wheat Flour, Whole Wheat Flour, Baking Powder, Baking Soda, Ginger, Salt, Carrot, Low-Fat Plain Yogurt, Canola Oil, Honey.

Preheat the oven to 230 degrees.

In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose wheat flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, and salt.

In a small bowl, mix the grated carrot, low-fat plain yogurt, canola oil, and honey.

Add the carrot mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

Place the dough on a well-floured surface.

With a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out the dough until it is 1.27 cm thick.

Using a 5.7 cm cookie cutter or a glass, cut out circles and gently gather the scraps to form 12 cookies.

Place the cookies on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving a 2.54 cm space between them.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Serve the cookies warm to fully enjoy their flavor and texture.
