Ginger Biscuit Snickerdoodles

Ginger Biscuit Snickerdoodles

Ginger biscuits hold such a clear, dear memory in my mind. My grandmother always kept a tin of biscuits at her home, and when my siblings and I visited as children, we knew to expect a nibble. The collection included some crunchy ginger biscuits (or gingerbread biscuits, gingersnap, ginger nut, whatever you prefer!

Molasses, brown sugar and a combination of nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves make these cookies unique. I also added in some crystallized ginger to intensify the flavour. Thanks to Primal Palate Gingersnap Spice (a holiday baking necessity), there won't be any confusion about what you're eating!

What about the snickerdoodle part of this recipe? Well, these New England treats are simple but a fan favourite, and I'm one of them! A soft (or crisp) cookie rolled in cinnamon sugar; this combination is seamless.
