And what are the tricks to make cinnamon and ginger cookies perfect?
The great trick is sharing! At this time of year, nothing tastes good without being shared and these cookies are just the best for that.
They are super crispy, tasty and perfect for an afternoon accompanied with a nice Christmas tea or with a nice hot chocolate.
The use of olive oil in this recipe is fundamental to give flavor. You can use oil, butter or coconut oil, of course. But if you want all the flavor, opt for olive oil that is really different and wonderful.
Do not forget to preheat the oven, it is essential, since these cinnamon and ginger cookies bake super fast.
If you want, you can decorate your cookies with Christmas designs, making a white coating. But I like them just sprinkled with cinnamon, since it gives an even more intense cinnamon taste (for those who don’t know, I LOVE cinnamon)!
