Simple times, simple crimes

After returning from the Caravan of Courage family tour, I was in desperate need of some meat-free sweet+tea cooking. So I pulled the trusty CWA Biscuits and Slices cookbook off the shelf and made these delicious bikkies.

They are so easy, require minimal thinking and ingredients and they taste so sensational you will sweat sweet swear words under your breath.

I used my step-mother-in-law's wonderful and ultimately delicious apricot jam.

I made so many that my work colleagues will be spoilt tomorrow.

Sometimes it's the simple things that make you smile and feel like you're at home.
