I have made "Twinks Hobnobs "myself they are foolproof and keep fresh for ages. I put them into a tin with a layer if kitchen roll between them (when I plan to resist them for that long !!!) They never go stale or soft ,and seem to keep for ages.
Im not very computer literate ,so cant give you a direct link to the recipe ,but Im sure you could find it if you do a search on this forum

How about Gingerbread. I made 40 Gingerbread Hearts yesterday. You can ice them and the keep very well.:D

We're doing some fund raising at work, so are using Nigella's rainy day biscuit recipe for iced valentines hearts. They're being made tonight... hopefully.

We're also looking for other ideas - pink cupcakes, heart-shaped cakes - so that we have some variety!

If you fancy something a bit naughty, then what about iced bottom shaped biscuits Easy to do with an upside down heart cutter

I make shortbread hearts

4 oz butter (not marg)
4 oz plain flour
2 oz icing sugar
2 oz cornflour

Put all ingredients in a bowl and rub fat into flour. After the 'breadcrumb' stage, it should gradually start making larger lumps. Squidge together into a big ball. Roll out onto a floured surface to desired thickness. Cut into shapes and put on a greased baking tray.

Bake in a medium oven, Gas 4, fan 160 C until just tinged with gold.

Happy eating

flapjacks keep well,but still should be stored in a airtight container.
