- Preheat oven to 190 degrees C. Sift together the flour, bicarb soda and salt into a small bowl; set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, margarine, white sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time then stir in the vanilla and milk. Gradually stir in the sifted ingredients using a wooden spoon. Finally, mix in the chocolate chips and crystallised ginger. Use two spoons to drop biscuit dough 5cm apart onto a baking tray.
- Bake on the middle rack of the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes. The biscuits should be golden brown on the sides and the top should have lost its shine. Allow to cool on the baking tray for a few minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Delicous, and has just a little sparkle of an aftertaste. Much too good to give the kids--although they love it. M - 19 Dec 2001 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
This is a very good recipe if you don't like the extra sweet style of regular chocolate chip cookies. My family and friends loved the cookies, and I wiil be making them again. For an added twist, put in half the amount of ginger, and and 2 tables spoons of cinniman. Very good! - 19 May 2002 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
Absolutely loved these! Definitely do not omit the ginger-it is what makes these cookies delicious and unique. Perfect soft and chewy texture. The recipe was extremely easy to make and chopping the ginger was not hard at all. Also instead of using chocolate chips try using chopped up pieces of chocolate, it melts better and is more flavorful. - 25 Jul 2006 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
