Ginger Oat Biscuits
Delicious chunky biscuits with a double hit of ginger and the goodness of rolled oats. I love using crystallised ginger in baking, and it works so well in these cookies. A little goes a long way! Perfect with a hot drink or for morning tea.
Makes approx 15 chunky biscuits
Ingredients
- 115g salted butter*

Directions:
