Biscuits

I am making a box of biscuits for my gran for Christmas. I am going to put in some cookies and gingerbreadmen. But I want to put other things in too.

Ordinarily, I would make shortbread. However, my gran is a fantastic shortbread maker herself!

I'm crap at making biscuits, except gingerbread (the biscuit type, not the sticky cake type) and macaroons.

My grandma makes the best christmas cookies. The sugar cookie cut out kind, with homemade frosting and all. I get a tin every year I've never been able to make any that don't taste like crap though

Theres ones I had last year at a job... they wound weird as they have potato crisps in them, but they are delicious *goes to look for a recipe*

Flapjacks or jam tarts? The only biscuits I can make... both yummy though and easily made

Where do you find recipes? I'm on google uk and all the links are for recipes that use cups and all that jazz not grams and whatnot

flour
sugar
baking soda
butter

+ whatever you want:

dried fruit
dried fruit and some smashed up nuts
oats and raisins
oats and chocolate chips
ginger - or most other spices like cinnamon etc
coconut and chocolate chips
... the list 'tis endless

chocolate brownies always go down a treat too
