Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and ground ginger. Ensure the ingredients are well mixed.

- Add the maple syrup to the creamed butter and beat until well combined.
- Add the egg and continue to mix until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix; you want the dough to be just combined.
- Using your hands or a spoon, take small portions of the dough (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into balls.
- Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to lightly flatten each dough ball. This will help them bake evenly.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown around the edges.
- Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the biscuits to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the biscuits have cooled, they are ready to be enjoyed with a cup of tea or as a delightful snack!

Super simple ginger biscuits FAQ:
The ginger biscuits bake for 10-12 minutes in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). They are done when they are golden brown around the edges.
The biscuits are ready when the edges are golden brown, and they have a slightly firm texture. If they look pale in the center, they may need a couple more minutes.
Yes, you can substitute maple syrup with honey or agave syrup. However, this may alter the flavor slightly and potentially affect the texture.
Store the biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer and transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to three months.
Yes, you can use whole wheat flour, but it may result in a denser texture. You might need to slightly adjust the amount of liquid in the recipe.
Cooking Tips:
- For a stronger ginger flavor, consider adding up to 1 tbsp (15g) of freshly grated ginger to the mix.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to help the biscuits maintain their shape.
- To ensure even baking, make sure all biscuits are of uniform size.
- You can add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors even more.
- If you prefer a crispy texture, bake the biscuits for an extra 2-3 minutes.
