This is a shortbread. I make it unique by adding 1 tablespoon chopped crystallized ginger to the batter. If you like ginger, you'll love this.

This was delicious. I doubled the crystallized ginger and next time would not put in the refrigerator at all, as that dried out the dough.

Was disappointed that the ginger flavor was so mild. Not hard to make.
