Baking alternatives to shortbread

[toastofthetown]

I'm visiting my granny next week who has a major sweet tooth and was going to bring some biscuits/ sweet treats to share, and leave some with her to share with her friends over the week. That rules out cake filled biscuits, or anything else which can't stand in a box at room temperature for a few days. She loves shortbread, which I've made before and I want tomato something else. But I'm in a huge baking slump right now, and l have zero inspiration.

Fruit cake keeps well in an airtight container.
Parkin improves over a couple of weeks.
Flapjacks?
Florentines?

Brownies last ages

Millionaire shortbread 😁

Gingerbread biscuits will last a good few days. Or rocky road for the fridge?

Brownies are good because you can freeze them and when you take them out they are just as good

Brownies, flapjacks (chocolate coated or granola) last for ages, as does Rocky rd or Tiffin.

no baking , but how about making some tablet or fudge ?

Ginger snap biscuits, the type you slice off the roll of dough to bake

Yes, this! Or coconut ice, or peppermint cream.

Does she have a freezer? Most cake freezes perfectly. Things like banana loaf are lovely frozen and bought out, a slice here and a slice there...

Ginger cake, and parkin lasts an age in a tin though. And gets better.

Snickerdoodles.

Taylor Swifts chai sugar cookies.

Pecan Puffs are amazing and keep really well. They’re melt in your mouth like shortbread, but nutty. Just careful when transporting as theyre v crumbly.
