I LOVE ginger cookies and biscuits. I ate far too many of them when pregnant, just because I had the excuse that it helps with nausea. I'm sure they mean pure ginger or ginger tea rather than cookies but who cares!
These are chewy, crispy and so gingery delicious! The addition of the sour lemon drizzle adds another level.
So easy to make and so satisfying to watch as they bake and spread out.
