    So easy!
    I only had 100gms white flour so added 230gms of wholemeal not 250gms. Was hard to mix the flours and fruit together at the end so maybe if I use wholemeal flour again might cut back to 220gms. Also did the 80gms of sugar like others did. I kept eating the raw mixture. It was yum! Made 29 biscuits.

    Delicious. I used 2tbsp tapioca and a dash of chia seeds plus some milk in place of the egg, and nuttelex instead of butter to make them vegan. I accidentally kept the ginger and dates in while I blended it but they were still delicious. tmrc_emoticons.-) I'll do it as the recipe suggests next time.

    These were good. A soft biscuit not crisp. Had no glacé ginger so added 4 tsp ginger. Could have added more. Didn't have fresh dates. Used pitted dried dates and chopped for 10 seconds. Had these for my FIL 92nd birthday. He was happy 😊

    The best ginger biscuits ever. I also reduced sugar to 90grams and next time would try 80grams as the date makes them super sweet already. Really soft and yummy! I had to cook mine a tiny bit longer.

    I used  gluten free flour and it was very adaptable. It makes them soft & chewy .

    For crisp dry biscuit texture, leave in turned off oven to dry out.

    A soft cakey cookie. On another suggestion I used 300 grams pitted dates and no glace ginger. I upped the ground ginger to 5 teaspoons. My mix made 32 biscuits. Thumbs up from Mr 7 and me  tmrc_emoticons.)
