Ginger Cinnamon New Year's Cookies

For almost a month, I wanted to prepare a cookie suitable for the approaching new year. But I was waiting for a day when I didn't want it to be such an ordinary thing, so as not to rush it.

This week has definitely been a week of rest and trying new flavors for me. It made me happy to be able to spare time for myself even if it was forced by a doctor in the months of hustle and bustle (school, internship, photography works, projects, etc.).

As a result of this pleasant mood, a delicious cookie suitable for the spirit of the New Year came out. Ginger Cinnamon New Year's Cookies is a recipe that takes some effort and shouldn't be rushed. If you follow the tricks I gave while applying the recipe, you will have delicious cookies that melt in your mouth.

1. Beat the butter and sugar you prepared for the cookies very well.
2. Never use a mixer while kneading the cookie dough, prepare it by hand and without too much popping. In this way, its structure that is dispersed in the mouth will not deteriorate.
3. The taste of molasses you use is important, if available, carob molasses suits you very well.
4. If you do not have powdered cloves, you can use 3-4 cloves by crushing them in a mortar.
5. The cookie dough is very delicate, so it should be cold when rolling out the dough, or it will break when taking it to the tray. As it heats up, it gets softer. In such a case, wrap it in cling wrap and cool it again in the refrigerator.
6. When rolling out the cookie dough, spread a stretch on it, so you will prevent the roller from sticking and lifting the dough leaf by leaf.
7. Take care to prepare the cookies in equal thickness so that one of them does not start to burn when fully cooked.

Finally, you can decorate the cookies you have prepared as you wish and present them to your friends. I colored some with nutella and some with ready-made decoration glaze.

Note: In my experiment after the comments, I reduced the amount of ginger and cinnamon. The dough rolls out without any problems as long as you follow the measurements and let it rest.
