White Chocolate & Macadamia Biscuits

These scrumptious bikkies are a constant in our household, I’ve been making them for years. This biscuit recipe deserves a permanent place in your recipe repertoire.

Crunchy and delicious, they last for ages, are great for the lunchbox or with a cuppa at any time. Feel free to swap out the macadamias for roasted hazelnuts for a change.
