Gingerbread biscuits

Moist, spicy, quickly melting, but still leaving the pleasant cinnamon - ginger aroma.

Gingerbread biscuits
Christmas, comfort and tradition are the first three words, that come to our mind when we think about gingerbread biscuits. There was no Christmas in our life spent without nibbling gingerbread cookies, that to this day, still manage to bring a perfect Christmassy feeling of warmth, love and care, only in few bites. We created this recipes in December 2014, and were very happy with the result, moist, spicy, quickly melting, but still leaving the pleasant cinnamon - ginger aroma.
