Make your mum a biscuit, a bug biscuit, that is. After all, it's her special day, and anything you do is sure to make her smile.
You can choose the 'bugs' you put in the biscuit mixture, so get a supply of her favourites in soon.

Best of all, this recipe is easy and quick, and you can have it all cooked and on a plate in no time.
One decent size cookie gets you through until lunch.
Two is better, however.
What you need:
- 250g butter
- 250g SR flour
- 250g brown sugar
- 2 eggs
Then the bugs (choose one or more):
- 1 cup chopped almonds
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 cup sultanas
- 1 cup chocolate pieces
- 1 cup of crystallised ginger pieces
What to do:
Once you've chosen your bugs, you can proceed.
Melt the butter and allow it to cool slightly.
Meanwhile, combine the flour and sugar and stir the butter, eggs, almonds and chocolate until just combined.
Roll the whole thing into a big log, and make it into a 10cm diameter sausage.
Wrap it up in baking paper and put that log in the fridge to firm and chill.
Slice into 1cm thick rounds and place on a greased or papered tray when you're ready to bake.
Bake at a 180c oven temperature for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve with a nice hot cuppa.

I love the writing game. It gets me bouncing out of bed, and dragging my feet at night when I have to finish up for the day. I started at The Bendigo Advertiser as the Creative Services Coordinator, and after many changes, I have ended up with a great 12 years with ACM (love that long service leave too as my secret gardens need tending sometimes). Working from home is tops and I hope I have many more productive times ahead.
