These are a flavourful biscuits (cookies) with a crunch that doesn't break your teeth. One of my clients gave me this old family recipe.

Ingredients

4 ounces butter
5 ounces sugar
2 teaspoons golden syrup (equivalent here in NZ is 1 Dessertspoon)
4 teaspoons milk (equivalent here in NZ is 2 Dessertspoons)
1 teaspoon baking soda
7 ounces flour
2 teaspoons ginger (slightly rounded)

Steps:

In a medium to large size pot slowly melt the first four ingredients (butter, sugar, golden syrup and milk) stirring constantly until all are blended together. Don't worry about dissolving every last bit of sugar.
Remove from heat and then add baking soda and stir until dissolved. Leave to cool for 5 minutes.
Preheat oven to 150°C.
Sift in the flour and ginger and mix well. The mixture will be quite loose.
Roll into small balls and put onto a baking tray. Flatten with the heel of the hand, allowing room for spreading.
Bake in a slow oven, 150C - 13-15 minutes. I bake these on the rack above the middle of the oven. Simply because my oven tends to be a bit hot on the bottom.

These gingernuts are the best I've ever had. They're so soft and chewy, and the ginger flavor is perfect. I'll definitely be making these again.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cookies turned out really dry. I think I might have overbaked them.

These cookies are a bit time-consuming to make, but they're worth it. They're so delicious and they make the perfect gift.

I followed the recipe exactly and my cookies turned out flat and hard. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I think next time I'll use less ginger.

I'm not a big fan of ginger, but I really enjoyed these cookies. They're not too gingery and they have a nice, chewy texture.

I've made these gingernuts several times now and they're always a hit. They're so easy to make and they taste delicious. I love that they're not too sweet.
