   Recommendations please, for the best ginger biscuits.

   Assume I am aware of McVities ginger nuts, and main supermarket own brands.

   This is an important question.

     @pseudomonas @davidallengreen This is the recipe I started from, but pretty much everything is possible to alter (I never use almonds, for /reasons/), and go heavy on the ginger because I love ginger.

     Also in some sources you can find versions that go half-and-half or even fully replace the wheat flour with rye flour. IDK if that makes them suitable for gluten-free/wheat allergy people (ask @goatsarah about that I guess)

     @davidallengreen Botham's of Whitby Shah Ginger biscuits are good for purchased.

     Best homemade recipe is Dutch butter ginger koekjes

     @A_C_McGregor @davidallengreen @goatsarah I keep meaning to make speculoos (the sort with just cinnamon); I find it a bit less cloying than speculaas or Spekulatius. But I might have a go at this recipe if it has your seal of approval. Maybe just dialling back the sugar a touch compared to commercial stuff would be enough for my taste.
