What kind of cookies go good with tea?

I was wondering because I was going to make my mom and dad a gift basket type of thing with tea and coffee stuff

What kind of cookies go good with tea?
I like a mild ginger - here's my recipe :



Ginger Biscuits



Ingredients



2 oz vegan margarine

1 oz sugar

4oz flour

1 teaspoon ground ginger



Blend the margarine with the sugar until it is a smooth paste. Add the ginger and flour and blend thoroughly. If it too dry add a teaspoon of water - it should come together in a dough. Roll out on a floured surface and cut out using a cookie cutter. Place on a greased baking sheet in a 200 degree oven for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
