First, in a bowl add the butter melted in a bain-marie or in the microwave, the sugar and the vanilla sugar then mix with a mixer or a whisk until you obtain a homogeneous mixture. You can use honey or maple syrup instead of sugar to make your ginger cookies. However, it is important to note that these ingredients have a different density and a different sugar content compared to white sugar, so it would be necessary to adjust the quantities used to obtain the desired results. It should also be noted that honey and maple syrup have distinct flavors that could affect the final taste of the cookies, so they should be used with great reserve so as not to alter the main flavors of the ginger.

Remove the dough from the refrigerator along with the plastic wrap and cut the dough into 4 equal parts.

Note
You can use fresh ginger in place of ground ginger to make your ginger cookie. However, it is important to note that fresh ginger and ground ginger have different levels of flavor and spiciness, so you may need to adjust the amount used accordingly. To replace 1 tablespoon of ground ginger, you should typically use about 2 tablespoons of grated or finely chopped fresh ginger. It is also important to note that fresh ginger can make the cookies moister, so you will need to adjust the amount of liquid in the recipe.
