Notes

• These biscuits do not quite have the jaw-breaking snap of the store-bought gingernuts but are still have a delicious snap.
• Because these biscuits are already very brown going into the oven, you cant judge their done-ness by their colour.
• I like to use the Dark brown sugar (as opposed to Brown sugar) because the darker sugar has a stronger, more caramel flavour.
• This recipe makes about 60 biscuits so one batch will pretty much get you through a week of school lunches fantastic!
• This recipe was created by Ella Walsh for Kidspot, New Zealands best recipe finder.
