I wish I could share the aroma wafting from the oven along with the recipe! It screams "CHRISTMAS IS HERE!"

Ingredients for 20 cookies

1 cup plain flour
1/2 cup chilled (not frozen) butter
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp grated ginger
1 heaped tsp cinnamon powder
4 tbsp granulated sugar
1/4 cup crushed walnuts
1 tsp salt 

Method

In a large bowl sift together flour, salt, baking powder and cinnamon powder.

Rub the flour lightly together with the finger tips 

The flour and butter mixture should resemble fine bread crumbs.

Add in ginger and walnuts. Mix lightly

Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time. mix lightly with a fork then gather the dough into a ball with fingertips.
DO NOT OVER WORK/ KNEAD THE DOUGH

Divide the dough into 20 balls and shape into small discs. Bake in the microwave for 20 mins on the lower rack. 

 Enjoy with a cup of  coffee or dunked in milk!
