In a large mixing bowl , using an electric mixer or wooden spoon , beat together the sugar, butter and ginger until light and fluffy (about 5-6 minutes).

Beat in the egg until incorporated .

Add the flour mixture and beat at low speed until a soft sticky dough forms.

Divide the dough into two and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill for atleast 20 minutes until it firms up.

Meanwhile preheat your oven to 180 C / 350 F. Line a cookie tray with parchment paper or grease well.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick.
