My husband Howard loves a biscuit or cookies. Howard’s favourites are the Gingernuts I made a long time ago. He will often ask when I’m going to make some more. As Howard is my lover I decided to treat him to a jar for valentines day. Only this time they weren’t just ginger. Of course I had to try other ingredients in his favourite biscuit.
My lover, Howard will often ask me not to tamper with the recipe but I can’t help myself. Just like I couldn’t help myself when I got to know him too!!! Howard thankfully thought these were yummy and I hope whoever you decide to share them with thinks the same. Below is a video and recipe for you.
What do you like to receive on Valentine’s day? Let me know in the comments below and please don’t forget to like and follow me.

- Meanwhile preheat the oven to 180°C or gas mark 4.
- After 30 minutes remove the biscuits from the fridge.

Cardamon, Ginger and Rose Biscuits / Cookies were so tasty. They are easy to prepare and cook and they will last about two weeks if stored in an airtight container. They make a brilliant gift for friends and relatives. As I said Howard, my lover didn’t turn his nose up at a jar of these cookies. However or whoever you decide to eat this dish, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
