My husband Howard loves gingernuts. As it’s almost Valentine’s day I have decided to bake him a batch. We don’t really celebrate Valentines day but this year I thought it would be nice to bake him a favourite sweet treat.
Occasionally I like to bake biscuits/cookies for my family. In recent months I have been using the food processor to make biscuit/cookie dough. I decided to make this batch with the processor and they turned out really well. We loved these biscuits/cookies and we hope you and yours will too. Below is a video and recipe for you.
What sweet treats do you enjoy on Valentine’s day? Let me know in the comments below and please don’t forget to like and follow me.
