They are lovely. I make them very rarely. My great-aunt was a master
at making them, but I never got to study what she did. By the time
I was old enough, she had moved 1000 miles away.

When I was a child, I'd eat practically anything biscuit-like. Packaged
Oreos, home-made (even then I knew they were the best), even some really
lousy ones like these:

Their name is apt. They tasted of sugar and nothing else.

Now I'm much more discriminating, and eat cookies but seldom. We used
to make one batch of chocolate-chip cookies at Christmas, but the last
couple of years we haven't even done that.

Many years ago when the kids were young I used to bake everything so I am
sure I must have made biscuits (cookies) but I don't remember what

When I was a child the only ones I can remember are custard creams and
ginger biscuits and the only biscuit type thing I eat now is a Caramel wafer
and even then it is Very Rare.

I make a lot of fruit pies and crumbles from the fruit in our garden, but
only for D. who loves them. I never bother with them. I don't have a
particularly sweet tooth so I am not interested.
