A Childhood Favourite!

Sometimes I get struck by sudden bouts of inspiration which, more often than not, are brought on by my cravings...


Custard Creams were a childhood favourite of mine and still are after all these years. It's like having warm a bowl of chicken soup after a long day - its comfort food in cookie form! And its pretty simple to make from scratch so it seemed ridiculous to not at least make an attempt at a batch.

After rummaging through my (growing) collection of cookbooks, I chanced upon the recipe and was amazed at how simple it was! Getting the cookies done were another matter all together though as the super soft dough kept giving me odd shaped circles after cutting them out as even the slightest handling tended to pull the little dough circles out of shape.

Once baked, all that was left was to prepare the custardy buttercream, slather it on, sandwich and eat! Awesome when you're finally able to bake for yourself after a long time!
