Comments
For softer/ chewier cookies reduce the cooking time slightly – cook them until only light brown, if you prefer harder cookies – cook them for slightly longer until the cookies are deeper brown.
Top Tip – The easiest way to measure the syrup is to weigh the tin (without the lid) and then remove syrup using a dessertspoon until the tin weighs 100g (4oz) less.

Hi! I would like to know (in degrees Centigrade please) what temperature my oven should be in order to bake the Easy Ginger Biscuits.
Thanks.
Hi, thanks for your comment. Apologies the temperature had been omitted. We’ve changed the recipe now to include the correct oven temperatures. The biscuits should be cooked at 180°C. Good luck with the baking. We’d love to know how you get on, if you could leave us a comment that would be great
