These biscuits were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if they had more moisture. However, the flavor was great and they were still enjoyable to eat.

I'm not a huge fan of ginger, but I decided to give these biscuits a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The ginger flavor was not overpowering and the biscuits were actually quite delicious. I would definitely make these again.

These biscuits were a bit too hard for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if they were a bit softer. However, the flavor was great and they were still enjoyable to eat.
