Hey lovelies! So, mother’s day is coming up and I thought that there is nothing better than a homemade treat as a present. I’m not the best baker in the world, so i thought I’d give this shortbread a practice run before the big day! … and it means that my boyfriend and I can enjoy them over the weekend.
I’ve decided to take my basic shortbread recipe and add some ingredients to make the biscuits extra special for my mum. I have chosen milk chocolate and red berries; mainly because I had a lot of red berries left over from my breakfasts this week. The biscuits also come out pink… which totally fits the mother’s day theme! What’s not to love. I think I might have a go at a few different flavours next week, so I’ll keep you guys posted & let you know my favourites!
