Vegan Ginger-Chocolate Cookies with orange filling
These soft chocolate cookies with light ginger taste and a fruity orange filling are perfect to start the christmas season!
Because of the cold days at this time of year, the strong spice ginger fits perfectly into the delicious cookies: it warms the body from the inside and gives the cookies a Christmas taste! And don’t worry, since the ginger is combined with chocolate, the strong spiciness becomes lighter: the sweetness of the chocolate and the light spiciness create a perfect harmony of winter feelings!
Why you should try this recipe:
- it brings you perfectly in Christmas mood
- you can try different, special cookies
- chocolate cookie meets refreshing ginger and juicy orange
- the cookies are made with a piping bag, without long kneading or cutting out
- delicious and wintery
- simple, inexpensive Christmas present
Ginger Chocolate Cookies
The dough of the cookies consists of a creamy batter, quickly prepared and flavoured with fresh ginger. The soft dough is formed onto the baking tray using a piping bag. You can make a lot of different shapes, I decided to make elegant circles in the form of roses. I simply used a star-shaped nozzle and made a flat circle with it. After a short baking time of 8 minutes the cookies become deliciously soft and inside still slightly creamy & chocolatey.
Orange jam
The orange filling consists of only 3 ingredients: a fresh orange, water and some gelling sugar. These ingredients are brought to a boil and then mashed until creamy. This quick and easy orange jam is the perfect contrast to the chocolatey cookies.
Storage
Of course, the cookies taste most delicious when they’re freshly filled with the orange jam, but you can also fill all of them at the same time and keep them in an airtight container until you eat them.
