National Biscuit Day is 29 May, apparently. What's your favourite biscuit?

My long-time fave is what my uni friend and I call Dog Biscuits", which are a home-made oaty, crunchy biscuit.

Currently though, my fave is my own home-made digestive bscuits with added chololate chips ?

You?

I limit us to one biscuit each at morning coffee or afternoon tea as we are biscuitaholics. At the moment its Hobnobs or ginger nuts

Blossoming

Shortbread. Must make some for 29th May.

Why Blossoming? Have I missed something?
(Wouldn't want to miss a shortbread opportunity)

My vote goes to M&S Sultana Cookies.
But I also love many kinds in the Border selection box.

My favourites are what we now call boring biscuits. Rich Tea or maybe a Digestive, if I'm feeling adventurous.

Not as keen on fancy stuff, as I was when I was younger.

Favourite? Shortbread, but after that Border dark chocolate gingers (Morrison’s are good too), and home made Anzac biscuits.

I like Bahlsen Choco Leibniz milk chocolate biscuits. There's only about 9 in the packet, but they're scrummy!

Granny, me too. Have you tried the mint ones?

Cafe Noir for me every time. Pretty much unobtainable in store nowadays but available online at silly prices therefore I manage to abstain.

Hobnobs without a doubt.

Another vote for Borders Dark Chocolate Gingers. Our local supermarket was kind/unkind enough to put them on offer at a pound a packet so I just had to stock up. I do like chocolate hobnobs too.

Plain chocolate digestives.

Another vote for Borders Dark Choc Gingers...

Kitkats always loved them.

I am lucky - I don’t like biscuits!

Kate1949 Fri 14-May-21 17:38:26

Pink wafers.
I used to love Lemon Puffs and Royal Scots but I haven't seen them for a while.

The best biscuits in the world are Border Biscuits dark chocolate gingers. Crisp biscuit base, not crumbly or hard; just the right thickness of lovely dark chocolate and very gingery. I can resist any others but generally avoid going down the biscuit aisle. I don’t work for them and they’re not paying me for this blurb!.
I don’t buy them very often or I’d be looking like a biscuit barrel.

Beechnut Fri 14-May-21 16:32:35

Any sort of wafer biscuit and shortbread are my favourites.

I must learn to type more quickly.
DGD asked me why I was using a stylus as she just whizzes along with her thumbs.

Callistemon Fri 14-May-21 16:24:25

I rarely buy biscuits because I eat them
??

AGAA4 Fri 14-May-21 16:22:57

I have banned biscuits from the house as I eat too many of them.
My favourites are malted milk, bourbons, jammy dodgers, choc chip cookies, shortbread ..........that's why I don't buy them. I have too many favourites.

lemongrove Fri 14-May-21 16:19:49

Peanut cookies, Borders dark choc gingers or plain digestives.

B9exchange Fri 14-May-21 16:17:27

Just how many biscuit tins have been raided since you started this thread OP? grin

I do love a chocolate biscuit, Foxes selection would do for me www.foxs-biscuits.co.uk/biscuits/Fabulous/Chocolatey-Biscuit-Selection and agree the Borders dark chocolate gingers are wonderful.

I was tempted by the talk of peanut butter biscuits on the Good Morning thread, and they were definitely very popular too.

A packet of thin, caramel filled waffle biscuits arrived as a freebie with my shopping order once.
I am now addicted to them, yet I do not like anything sweet including chocolate and sweets.
I ration them as I could eat the pack, not expensive either. They are always in my shopping order now and only 1.45€ for 10.

aggie Fri 14-May-21 14:36:13

My favourite is/was gypsy creams , haven’t seen them for a while .

Sago Fri 14-May-21 14:31:42

I fantasise over two biscuit types of yesteryear.
The first was a Rondello, it was the size of a dustbin lid and you only got a few in a box.
The second was a digestive base with a caramac topping.
Oh the good old days?
