I was successfully pursuing a programme of no snacks/lose the lard until this thread appeared.

(Now just waiting for the oven timer?)

M&S posh chocolate chip cookies.

And the banana oaty ones I made with the help of DGD. It's a BBC recipe, slightly adapted to whatever is to hand at any time.
Last time we used pinhead oatmeal, not oat flakes and they were very good. Once I added syrup, another time black treacle.

I don’t have a favorite - I just love biscuits!

Garibaldi (aka squashed fly here) but I hardly ever buy them, since I’m very poor at controlling the urge to scoff the whole packet in about half an hour.

Talking of dog biscuits, our dog never cared for Bonios, except to bury them in the garden for a rainy day, so one day I ate one, for a bet.
I actually quite liked it!
The challenge I never did rise to, was from dd1, who bet me that I’d never eat a few of the dried mealworms my SiL used as bird food.
Dd was quite correct. She crunched some with evident relish, though - IIRC it cost me a fiver.

Because I'm counting calories it has to be rich tea fingers. I can have 3 for under 100 cals and they do satisfy that "need something sweet" moment!!

I have to constantly keep the tin filled up as OH loves a biscuit with his afternoon cup of tea, he only likes the boring ones Rich Tea, Custard Cream, Milk Chocolate digestives. I only occasionally have a biscuit and my choice would be Borders Dark Chocolate ginger, Lidl do a similar one (on offer this week as it happens so bought some). Sarnia, I used to like ginger thins but have not seen them for a while, wonder if they have stopped making them?

Lotus with coffee, rich tea with tea, digestive with cheese, shortbread on its own.

Borders buttery sultana melts are as delicious as my homemade shortbread. Lotus caramelised are nice with a coffee Foxes ginger crunch are fab.

I have just finished a time out which was very nice.

I used to love ginger thins but can't find them any more. Cafe Noir are rather moreish.

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?
