in Old style MoneySaving
Right so the problem is that I have reluctantly entered myself into a bake off competition putting an entry into the biscuit category:eek:, so last nigt went through all my recipes and made lemon and poppy seed cookies and absolutely to die for viennesse fingers half coated in dark chocolate (which ruined them!!!).

So now I have two lots of biscuits to go into the bin:mad:, and still nothing to enter into competition and no inspiration.

HELP ME old style peeps, SAVE ME please.

Anyone got any knock 'em dead recipes that work:rotfl:, as always the old back up will be TWINKS HOBNOBS (which I can and have made and knew taste fab:D.

Got to dash to work now, but will be back late this afternoon for your suggestions.

    Why chuck them - do they actually taste bad?

    There's not much that can beat an all butter shortbread :)

    To make them a wee bit more special, make twinks and add some chopped up crystalized ginger and then half dip in dark choc once baked. Makes them a wee bit different, and even more yummy.

    Oh believe me they are bad!!! however I did managed to cut them in half cutting off the chocolate and will use them as sprinkles over ice cream, so not a total loss as such.

    You could try Empire Biscuits - there is a thread on these here
    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/20577817#Comment_20577817

    And this site has some fantastic and unusual recipes
    http://www.britishlarder.co.uk/recipe/biscuit-cookie-recipes/#axzz1FYUOEmxj

    But I must admit that my favourite is shortbread dipped in chocolate - can't beat it in my opinion
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light
