Duchy Originals Organic Stem Ginger All Butter Shortbread, 5.3-OunceUSDA Organic

This is the third cookie from this brand I've tried. The first was the oat; which I now know is more durable than the rest.(I actually ordered both the lemon, and the stem ginger at the same time.)As with the lemon, these came mostly in pieces because of their thin fragile nature. I love ginger, so these hit the spot!However, for some-- stem ginger might be a bit of a different taste experience than say a molasses ginger-snap.Being I had tried "Nairns Stem Ginger Oat Cookies", it wasn't a flavor shock. Plus, I LOVE ginger ale, and beer (such as from "Fever Tree").You will find little pieces of candied stem ginger throughout these cookies, in addition to the buttery taste of the shortbread.I would buy these again, if the price was right. But honestly, the lemon and oat flavors are better. ..I can't wait to try their plain shortbread!If you don't mind crumbly pieces, I'd say give this a try! I actually got them for half the price they normally are, so for less than $3, I can't complain too much.As for packaging, I'm not sure what more could be done to ensure the cookies arrive in whole condition. There's nothing to protect them in the thin cardboard box. 6 is stacked on top of one another (in 3 pairs), and packaged in a thin plastic barrier (you get 2 such packages per box).The fact that they come from the UK, could mean that they're damaged in transit to the US. I hope Waitrose could figure out a better packaging idea. Perhaps those intended for import could be packaged differently?

Walkers are my favorite cookies, but these are just as delicious. Very rich, & made with quality ingredients, & real butter. The ginger is very refreshing.

I was disappointed with the product when I opened it up. Most of the cookies were all broken and many were in several small pieces.

These taste good, but are very expensive and a bit dry. I would not buy them again. The "ginger" taste is not that prevalent.

These cookies were fresh and I could tell they were made with high quality ingredients. I just didn't care for the overall flavor. I love ginger but found the stem ginger to be too intense and the shortbread flavor to be "off", not quite right. I believe it's a UK recipe and they must do shortbread slightly differently in the UK than we do in America. Good quality, just wasn't my cup of tea!

These are some of my favorite cookies and I can't find them locally. Unfortunately, they arrived broken and in pieces. Tasted delicious but you wouldn't want to serve them to guests in that condition.

These were good cookies. Only a dozen so they don't last long but very good cookies. Nice treat. It is the first time I tried this brand and would definitely buy them again.

I write 1 review for this 3 different biscuits from the same brand.The butter are the best in my opinion and the ginger the less good but only because the ginger taste is so strong that is hot. My son loved it so clearly anyone can have a different idea from this biscuits.But quality is, no doubt, high.
