First batch – Stem ginger and 85% Chocolate Shortbread Biscuits

…and she’s off….sound of coconut shells…chime of little bells….twinkly stars…meteor showers forecast for the morning in the UK …the Christmas baking starts here…

Thanks to my mate Lynne for suggesting shortbread for Sunday baking and for the very naughty but nice Kate Shirazi book that these biscuits come from.

Have to go and have a munch now !

100 grams of forgotten crystallized ginger...

Rolls of chilling biscuit dough

A cooling rack of shortbread biscuits

Smile it's biscuit time!

    Joanna …these look fabulous…I do have to come clean and say it was actually another baking chum of mine…Gill…who suggested shortbread and she credits here husband Gerry with the idea….will just close my eyes and pretend I can eat a handful

    Wow, they look so good Joanna. I’m a sucker for both chocolate and ginger, so these sound amazing. Must make, must make…..

    Thanks for the encouraging comments. :) They don’t look very elegant when I dip them in chocolate but never mind. The only problem with making biscuits is that someone has to eat them….or rather try not to eat too many in one go :)

    That candied ginger dipped in dark chocolate is delish as well.

    Apparently, Jo, you are not aware of the WordPress rule that disallows multiple posts on the same day! How can you bake and do so much posting too?

    What an innovative idea to put ginger in shortbread! Finally a cookie that’s good for you! I’ll have any excuse to eat these exquisite dainties you made! Thanks for sharing!!!

    Oh lovely lovely lovely – especially that beautiful smiling face in the middle. Who would have the heart to eat it though?
