Ginger Macadamia Biscuits

[CreamPuff63]

A lovely light biscuit with great flavour

Ingredients:

125g unsalted butter, softened
200g light brown sugar
1 medium egg
3 nuggets of stem ginger* (drained free of syrup), OR 25g Glace ginger - chopped into slivers
50g dessicated coconut
200g plain flour
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon bicarb soda
150g salted macadamia nuts, chopped into flakes

Method:

1.  Preheat oven 170^oC and line 2 x baking trays.
2.  Cream butter and sugar  3  Mins / Speed 3 until light and creamy
3.  Add egg  6 Secs / Speed 3
4.  Add stem ginger & coconut  5 Secs / Speed 3
5.  Add flour, ground ginger, allspice, bicarb   Knead Setting / 25 Secs
6.  Add nuts  Knead Setting / 20 Secs
7.  Roll tablespoons of dough into balls, press lightly with a fork and bake in oven 15 mins.
    Leave on the trays for about 5 minutes before lifting off onto wire rack to cool.

Note: I used Glace Ginger as the stem ginger is hard to find, and you can add more glace ginger according to taste . I handcut the nuts because I didn't want to pulverise them.
You don't have to use the salted macadamias and I didn't have them so I used unsalted and a teensy pinch of sea salt flakes.

Kimmyh - they are lovely. Was lazy and blitzed glace ginger before creaming butter and sugar. Thanks for another great recipe CP.
I think the ginger taste is stronger the next day.  Which is good.

Delightful Den - They are delicious.
