Golden Cinnamon Biscuits

"An easy and quick mix biscuit (cookie) dough to make. You can use 3 teaspoons of ginger powder instead of 3 teaspoons of cinnamon powder. These biscuits (cookies) are great dunking biscuits. The bicuits (cookies) do have a bit of crunch in them."

  1. The flavour of these is great, especially during autumn and heading towards Christmas. They are very crisp, but yummy all the same and so simple to make. You really need to keep an eye on these while baking, because of the colour of the dough, it is very hard to tell when they are done and due to the syrup, sugar and butter it is easy to burn them. I burnt the bottoms of the first batch and the second batch was done after about 7 minutes. It might be a good idea to bake them in the top half of the oven, rather than the middle, especially if you have bottom heat in your oven. Thanks for sharing, I'll definitely make these again.
     
  2. With an oven temperature that is hotter than most, it is best to start checking these biscuits at the 8 minute mark. I managed to burn the first batch. These are very yummy biscuits/cookies to go with a good cup of coffee or hot chocolate.
     
  3. These burnt after 10 mins! The cinnamon is also a bit overpowering.
     
  4. Thank you for the recipe.The flavor is indeed very nice, but they came out rather tough and I burned one batch too. Probably I baked them for too long. Let me share a tip to solve the toughness problem. Place a couple of apple slices on a piece of aluminum foil and put them on top of the biscuits in an airtight container. They will soften in a couple of days and then you can remove the apples. Cristina
     
  5. These are now hands down my all time favourtie cookie and I will be making these again in the near future. They baked for 6 minutes and I only used cinnamon and they are devine! I plan to do the ginger alternative next time! Yummy! Thanks!
