Instructions
To prepare cookies, weigh or lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife.
Combine flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt, stirring mixture well with a whisk.
Place brown sugar and butter in a bowl. Beat with a mixer at medium speed 2 minutes or until light and fluffy.
Add cane syrup, molasses, and egg; beat 1 minute or until well combined.
Add flour mixture, and beat on low speed 1 minute or until just combined. Gently press mixture into a disc, and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill for 30 minutes.
Roll each dough portion to a 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface; cut with 5-inch cutters to form 26 cookies. (Reroll scraps, as necessary.)
Place cookies 1 inch apart on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
Bake at 350 for 8 minutes or until lightly browned.
Let cool on baking sheet 5 minutes.
Remove cookies from baking sheet; cool completely on a wire rack.
To prepare icing, combine powdered sugar and milk, stirring with a whisk until smooth. Spoon icing into a small zip-top plastic bag. Snip a tiny hole off one corner of the bag. Pipe icing onto cookies as desired.
