Ginger biscuits have the smell of Christmas. Rather than using just ginger, add other spices too such as cinnamon, allspice and cardamon.

The following is a simple recipe
75g margerine, 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 tablespoon of syrup. Melt these gently in the microwave.
Add 225g plan in flour plus 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda and 1 tsp of more of your choice of spices. Mix and add oat milk/ the juice of an orange to bind as necessary to for a firming dough.
Chill.
Roll out and cut into shapes.
Bake at 180C until cooked. They will still be slightly soft but leave on the baking tray. This completes the cooking and gives rise to the term biscuit meaning twice cooked.
