Gingernut biscuits

This post comes with a warning - these biscuits are so good that they may lead to overeating....  
The ginger & orange rind combination make these cookies taste and smell absolutely divine and are undoubtedly the best gingernuts I have ever eaten. Bake them for 15 mins and they will be soft & chewy, leave them a little longer for a crunchier biscuit. 

Give them a go today.
Enjoy,
