Crunchy caramel biscuits

The cookie dough is very simple and is refrigerated so that it has a moment to rest and will help them mature and keep their form when baking. Because it’s very sweet and caramel needs it, a pinch of salt goes a long way. You can also let your dough rest for a day or two in the fridge. The addition of nuts helps with even more crunch and goodness. They will come out as spiced golden treats that pairs well with your choice of tea or coffee.

So, it’s time to get that kettle on and have a treat with your friends. Our crunchy caramel biscuits are the golden treats you deserve.
