Another great dunking biscuit - these Treacle Biscuits always go down a treat !



This is another quick and easy biscuit (cookie) recipe which is great for keeping your biscuit tin (or cookie jar) full !

They are quite hard once baked, so are ideal for dunking into a nice cuppa tea or coffee -:

Cream the butter & sugar together. Add the treacle and egg and mix before adding the sifted flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt. Mix until a soft dough is formed.
