Ginger is one of our favourite flavours, and these Vegan Crystallised Ginger Biscuits use a combination of crystallised ginger and powdered ginger to create a lovely cookie. Soft, sweet with a hint of heat from the ginger.
Ginger is one of those Christmas flavours but we love them all year round. These are great – soft on the inside, crisp on the outside and with the great combination of sweet and a bit of heat from the ginger.
