Ingredients

    3/4 cup Edmonds Standard Grade Flour
    1/2 cup Edmonds Self Raising Flour
    2 tsp ground ginger
    1/4 tsp Edmonds Baking Soda
    75g Tararua Butter, softened
    2/3 cup Chelsea Caster Sugar
    2 Tbsp Chelsea Golden Syrup (tin)
    2 eggs

    Filling
    125g Tararua Butter, softened
    1 1/2 cups Chelsea Icing Sugar
    2 tsp Chelsea Golden Syrup (tin)

Method

    Preheat oven to 170ºC/150ºC fan-forced. Line 3 large baking trays with baking paper.

    Sift flours, ginger and Edmonds Baking Soda together. Using an electric mixer, beat Tararua Butter, Chelsea Caster Sugar and Chelsea Golden Syrup until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating until combined after each addition. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes or until creamy (mixture may appear curdled at this stage). Add half the flour mixture. Beat on low speed until combined. Repeat with remaining flour mixture. Stand for 5 minutes.

    Spoon 2 level teaspoons of mixture, on top of each other, onto prepared tray. Repeat with remaining mixture, leaving 5cm between each for spreading. Bake, 1 tray at a time, for 13 to 15 minutes or until golden and just firm to touch. Cool on trays.

    Make Filling
    Using electric mixer, beat Tararua Butter until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in Chelsea Icing Sugar until well combined. Beat in Chelsea Golden Syrup. Spread 2 to 3 teaspoons of filling onto flat side of half of the biscuits. Sandwich with remaining biscuits. Serve.

    Notes
    Spooning teaspoons of mixture on top of each other will result in even-sized rounds.
    Ginger kisses are best eaten on the day they're made.
    Make these dinner-party worthy by using mascarpone and grated orange rind for the filling.

These were amazing! I made with GF flour and the consistency was a bit different but so much more delicious than anything I could ever buy.

Delicious. These are better than regular ginger kisses you buy in supermarkets. It took me a few goes to perfect these, but they are great. Fast and easy once you get the hang of it.
I recommend 3 tsp of ginger, instead of 2. And 1 tsp scoops instead of 2.

Tastes amazing and so easy to make! I used the easy pour golden syrup and had no difficulties. I also added an extra teaspoon of ginger as two teaspoons didn’t seem like enough, personally.

When I first read the reviews I though they would be O.K. But when I finished making them they were so delicious. Chelsea some people give you such a hard time but on 99.9% of the time there delicious.
Chelsea Sugar:
Thank you for your sweet words. Providing trustworthy recipes is very important to us!

Horrible. Far too sweet. Flat as pancakes even though followed the recipe and instructions exactly.

I am making a this recipe it's is very pretty good :)

Absolutely delicious. A few notes:
I suggest adding more ginger to enhance the flavour as 2tsp is not enough
These turn out more like a biscuit that is chewy in the middle and slightly harder on the outside
And these do expand tremendously in the oven so space accordingly
Overall these are not your traditional ginger kisses, however they are delicious and make a great treat

These are amazing I make them all the time so much better than the ones from the supermarket. Is there any way to make this recipe into a cake? Because that would be amazing

They tasted amazing! They didn't make many though. I suggest you only make half the filling, I had heaps left over. They weren't perfect, but I'll certainly make them again.

Followed the recipe perfectly, did not turn out like ginger kisses more like flat ginger cookies, still nice but didn't have that sponge texture.

Dangerously delicious.

Hi. When it says "Stand for 5 minutes" what does that mean.
Chelsea Sugar:
"Stand for 5 minutes" means leave the baking on the counter to cool / rest for 5 minutes.

Do I need to use Golden Syrup that is tinned? Can I just use the regular bottled stuff instead? Why?
CHELSEA: Hi there, our golden syrup in the tin has a thicker consistency and richer caramel flavour than the easy pour version in the bottle. For the best results we recommend using the tin of golden syrup for baking; however, you will still achieve a good result using the easy pour syrup.

These were declared the best ever ginger kisses by all who ate them, and they looked nice and even.
