There was no way I could roll any of it into balls let alone press with a fork! I have however flattened it all into a tin with the hope that it makes a ginger crunch type of thing. Any idea what I may have done wrong? Thank you :)CHELSEA: thanks for your feedback and sorry to hear these gingernut biscuits didn't work out for you. We hope the end result still tasted good!

They also didn't spread as much as I expected so I flattened the second batch a bit more. I also added 1ts cinnamon, 1/2 ts cardamom and 1/4 ts each cloves and nutmeg as I like a more interesting flavour. The dough also tastes yummy raw, I can just imagine it stirred into vanilla icecream (cookie dough icecream, anyone?), approved=true, user_name=Nikki, hs_createdate=1702249876340, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175567633}, {comment_text=Very dry mixture and end result was just okay unfortunately., approved=true, user_name=L, hs_createdate=1702249876180, rating_new__1_5_=2, id=11175556207}, {comment_text=Was so tasty, but the mixture was so crumbly!, approved=true, user_name=Hannah, hs_createdate=1702249874527, rating_new__1_5_=3, id=11175531858}]}
