In my opinion, ginger kisses are one of the most iconic biscuits and have always been a firm favourite of mine. I remember absolutely inhaling these by the packet whenever I got the chance. I could never ever, and still can’t, stop at one.

This recipe has been tweaked over and over, searching for that unmistakable ginger kiss pillowy texture. I’m embarrassed to admit how much of a headache these caused me; who would have thought that recreating this humble biscuit would be such a schlep! Big thanks to my mum who was my chief taster.

That being said, I’m happy to report . . . I think we’ve nailed it!
