I made ginger biscuits/cookies this morning and they turned out quite well. The recipe said to roll them into balls then press them down with a fork. But picking up a small portion with my fingers didn’t work. The dough just stuck to my fingers so in the end I just put small spoonfuls on the baking tray. I had to dip the prongs of the fork into some flour; otherwise the prongs stuck to the dough too.
When I did the third trayful, I forgot about pressing them down. They are all different sizes too but at least people will know they are homemade rather than store-bought. They taste okay which surely is the main thing.

@RebeccasFarm The first four were good and I'm about to have two more with my morning coffee!! 
So I guess you could say they're delicious.

I am very curious to ginger cookies since I haven't tried them before. It sounds to be very attractive. When I made cookies before, I used a cookie mould and it was quite useful to make various kinds of cookies and they looked professional. It is also efficient to use it to make cookies. Perhaps next time you can try it

The first 4 were pretty good! Then I put the lid on them. But I'll have some more with coffee.

I don't think you have to be talented to make these. They're very simple.

@JudyEv - They look delicious. I have read enough British books to realize that what you call biscuits is what we call cookies! No matter what you call them, though, I'm sure they are yummy!

@JudyEv - Personally, I have only rarely eaten biscuits and gravy, but it is different than what you imagine. Biscuits in America are more like fresh little individual loaves of baked bread. They are not sweet. So, it is more similar to dipping a little warm bread in gravy. They are nothing at all like what you call biscuits and we call cookies, which are sweet and usually crispy.

@DeborahDiane I've sorted out the difference now. Your biscuits are very similar to our scones and I could eat them with a meat meal quite easily.

Home baked ginger biscuits sound quite fine!
I do biy some Ginger biscuits from the market but I suppose these would be quite different from the ones I have tasted.

@JudyEv
Home made ones are better as we can control the quality of the ingredients.
Outside food can often have lower quality raw materials.

I still don't make very good biscotti. I like cooking pasta more, it's easier for me. Although I admire people who make biscotti a lot.
