Sigh, where to begin with this little beauties? Itâs hard to decide whether to start with the fact this batch makes about 50 cookies (!), that theyâre infinitely better than any other Ginger Nut biscuit or the recipe is blissfully easy to make. The recipe did recommend making a double batch and freezing for up to a month. Do your future self a favour if you make this recipe by doubling the batch.
đ± Vegan substitutions were easy for this recipe: â

đ§ BUTTER @nuttelexspread Buttery is my every day and cooking butter. â
đ„EGGS I used 2 teaspoons of @orgranfoods No Egg Egg Replacer with 1 tablespoon of water.â

đŁ Favourite phrase from this recipe: “stir just enough for the dry bits to make friends and get rid of the lumpy bitsâ.
As the recipe yields so much dough and was cooked across a number of batches, I varied the cooking time slightly for each batch. Some are a little more burnished and crunchy, others more golden and chewier in the middle. Donât ask me to pick a favourite, that wouldnât be fair. Also, each time you open the container these cookies are stored in, the smell is almost as delicious as the freshly-baked-and-out-of-the-oven-smell.
