What Are Biscuits & Cookies?

Biscuits, (not to be confused with American biscuits, but rather the UK name for our version of cookies), is a tea-time classic and pretty much always paired with a tea, coffee or a cold glass of milk! Whatever name you know them by, they are here to stay and no doubt even more delicious ones to comes!


My Biscuits & Cookies

The following is a list of my biscuits and cookies, some my own recipes and some I have reviewed. I probably had near on 50 recipes on the old website, so please bear with me while I get them on here. I am updating the photos and recipes a little, as I have developed A LOT in the last 2 years, and hopefully your baking has too. So with that said, these things take time to get online. So I appreciate your patience.
