Thread: I Miss Biscuits :(

I can cope with less cake, I can cope with hardly having chocolate, but I am really missing having biscuits. I've looked at the SW website and found one lonely recipe for ginger biccies; but when a custard cream is 3syns and a SW ginger biscuit is 2.5, it's hardly screaming at me to get cooking (and I love baking).

I was wondering what you guys do to curb your cravings? I'm trying to fill the void with fat free yogurt, even though I'm not a big yogurt person, doing fruit with 0% Greek yogurt (yummy btw) but I'm having that and still thinking "I want biscuits"

Thank you in advance!

I keep rich tea fingers in a tin 1 syn each.

Alpen Light cookies! I think I found the recipe on here if you search it up? Either way, it made a fairly large batch, and they were free if you used the Alpen Lights as HeXB's.

ALPEN LIGHT COOKIE for all you cookie lovers

1/2 alpin light bars (i used the chocolate fudge ones)
2 egg white
1/4 cup of sweetener
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon or any flavouring

......syn free if you use the bars as your healthy extra b

grind the alpin light bars in a food processor
In a medium bowl, beat 2 egg whites on high speed until soft peaks form.
Make a meringue by gradually adding 1/4 cup sweetener; beat until egg whites
are stiff. Next, beat in cinnamon. Gently fold in ground
alpin light bars. Place rounded
tablespoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet (or use parchment paper). Bake
at 325 degrees 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned.


Hope that helps?

I may try this later Thanks x

Thank you SO much. I am totally tracking down some alpen for my big shop now!
I've found some great main meal recipes on here too, looking forward to giving them a go I made the 3.5 syn SW rice pudding last night. It was terrible didn't taste nice at all. I have read that 100g of tesco low fat rice pud is 4 syns - think i'll stick with having less of something that tastes nicer!

Have you posted this in the recipe section, I'm sure lots of people would love it and not even notice it in this thread. I'm certainly going to try this tomorrow after I've bought more eggs

Gotta try this thanks!

I'm doing SW with my mum and she is an absolute biscuit fiend! You would think I was the diet police, every time I leave the house she's straight into the biscuit tin! Will have to make these for her! Thanks!x

thanks this is a great recipe gong to give it a try. Anyone else seem to be using so many eggs?

Just wanted to say thanks to Heyxtara I have just made them. I used 2 Strawberry Alpen Lights and added the yolks back in at the end because I always end up throwing them away and I hate to waste them. I got 7 biscuits which are just less than 1 syn each or FREE if I eat them all as my HEB

is that half an alpen light bar or is that 1 or 2 bars please?

Thank you so much for this recipe. I had a serious craving for biscuits too, especially after the OH keeps eating chocolate digestives infront of me (meanie).

These really hit the spot. Maybe not put the cinnamon in next time though as don't think they really need it.

Any pictures yet lol? I may try these Thanks. Would love to see some. X

Sounds lush. Need to try this!!
