I used 180C bottom heat, bake for 12 minutes!

A tad too long, it started to burn on the outside.
Ginger nut turn out to be hard and had a 'burnt' taste to it.

 

A smidgen too short in baking time, ginger nut will not be snappy, they will be chewy instead (which my daughter like!!)

So, my advice will be , don't just set your oven timer and walk away.
Watch your ginger nut in the oven when nearer to or after 10 minutes in the oven.
