Biscuits are a perfect travel or tea-time partner. Sometimes I actually has tea/coffee just to have a cookie or two. While I have always enjoyed bourbons. However, this is a chocolate cream biscuit with a hint of orange. I love Lindt bars with orange in it. These biscuits are inspired by those. Orange chocolate cream cookies actually are perfect companion to vanilla ice cream.
Biscuits, biscotti, macaroons, cakes puffs and pastries. Baking is so much fun egg or eggless. Vegan or with dairy. There is something special for that child in us whatever we may choose to be. I love oranges they are so full of flavor. Something simple like an orange cake or an orange marmalade and buns can brighten your day. Oh Paddington!

Versatile biscuits
Biscuits are versatile. Break and add them to milkshakes. Add them to ice creams. You can also have them with any hot milk tea, coffee or with plain milk. They are also an egg-less dessert on their own. Great for travel too. There is nothing better than homemade biscuits when people come over. It is holiday season and whether you are enjoying the heat or the cold weather.
Keep calm and cookie on!
Tip: Just separate and lick the cream like you were young. We cannot bring back age, but can still enjoy the childhood fun for some moments.
