custard and white chocolate biscuits

I've been on a bit of a biscuit theme this week. First the muesli ones and now these custard and white chocolate beauties which I photographed outside in the sunshine.


I've been meaning to bake these for a few months after spotting them on Lucy's blog, and they certainly didn't disappoint. The flavour from the custard powder really comes through and gives the biscuits a sandy, shortbread texture.


I also love how aromatic vanilla is in a biscuit, it makes a great waft when you open the biscuit tin :)


My only gripe is that I would probably want more white chocolate chunks. I actually reduced the sugar amount by 25g, after reading below the recipe that some people found them almost too sweet, so I certainly think more chocolate could be added without making them sickly.


Any excuse for more white chocolate really :)

      I don't know what it is about biscuits at the moment, I appear to be a little obsessed which my waistline won't be thanking me for!
