chocolate

Place the chocolate in a thin-sided bowl and suspend over a gently simmering bain-marie, ensuring that the bowl does not touch the water. Melt the chocolate and stir until smooth, allow to cool slightly.

Dough

Using the whisk on a hand mixer, beat the butter, sugar and ginger in a bowl until light and creamy. Combine the flour with all the other ingredients up to and including the ground cloves, mix in. Stir in the chocolate. Shape the dough into 8 balls. Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper, leaving plenty of room between each ball, flatten a little, chill for approx. 30 mins.

Approx. 15 mins. in the centre of an oven preheated to 180 °C. Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, leave to cool completely on a rack.

Decorate

Melt the bag of cake icing in a hot bain-marie, pour the icing into a small bowl. Dip the cookies half way into the icing, dust with the ground ginger, leave to dry on a rack.

Good to know
Tip: Store the remainder of the cake icing in a sealed container in the fridge. Keep for approx. 2 weeks.
