I've started to experiment lately with turmeric, either as the classical 'golden milk' or in savory recipes, as a coating for the fish. One of those mornings, I had another genius ideas - thank you baby D. for waking me up at 6.30: why not create my own turmeric cookies. However, I had to find also a balance for the strong taste of this spice, therefore, I matched it with cinnamon and some freshly grated ginger too. The results were very easy going, delicious and a good companion for the lunch box or any other short trip snacks. It can be done easy and baked within one hour. What can you expect more from a cookie?
Ingredients
700 gr. white flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
200 gr. white sugar - brown sugar is also a good option
1 tablespoon turmeric
1 tablespoon cinnamon
125 ml. sunflower oil
4 medium-sized eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
Directions
Heat the oven at 250C, at least 10 minutes before starting the baking. Add a parchment paper on a big tray.
Add the dry ingredients one by one and mix well. Especially when you are dealing with spices, it is very important to do some extra mixing as it is important to have them spread properly. Add the eggs, the oil and the ginger. As usually when I want a smooth dough, I add some warm water and mix again for another couple of minutes.
Split the dough into medium-sized portions and let it bake for around 15 minutes each batch.
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 45 minutes
Make it into around 20 big spicy cookies
Bon Appétit!
