Ginger and oat cookies recipe

60 ratings

These gorgeous cookies are gently spiced with warming ginger while the oats give great texture; the addition of stem ginger adds a welcome chew that keeps you coming back for more. Perfect enjoyed on their own or to accompany a cup of tea, they're just slightly soft in the centre too - our favourite! See method
