What’s your team’s favourite biscuit?

We are lucky enough that Lynne is our finishing department loves baking, and regularly brings in cakes, so we don’t often have biscuits. Our favourite of Lynne’s cakes are coffee and walnut, Guinness and chocolate and carrot cake. Maybe we need to kindly ask her for biscuits
