Thermomix YoYo Biscuits Recipe
Thermomix YoYo Biscuits
Yoyo biscuits are a classic family favourite… And now we’ve made them Thermomix friendly too!
Yoyo biscuits are one of those biscuits that are sure to be gobbled up as soon as they hit the biscuit tin (if they even make it that far!). I have such lovely memories of baking yoyo biscuits with my mum when I was little. The recipe we used to use was so popular in our house that the page was totally worn (and covered in little bits of biscuit dough too!).
Anyway, it’s about time that my favourite original recipe was updated to make it Thermomix friendly. I love that the Thermomix makes these yoyo biscuits even simpler, able to be whipped up in a flash, and yet still taste totally amazing. They’re so good that you’ll think your grandma made them – they really are that good!
Yoyo biscuits have the most incredible, melt-in-your-mouth shortbread texture. They certainly make the perfect addition to your afternoon tea or as a super yummy lunchbox treat.
And really, we all know that the only thing better than a delicious cookie is TWO delicious cookies sandwiched together with the sweetest, creamiest filling. Oh yep you know you’re going to love these!
So go on… Make these delicious Thermomix yoyo biscuits today!
