These classic Freckle Biscuits are made using a few simple ingredients, and can be ready to enjoy in around 30 minutes! They are great for lunchboxes and they are also freezer friendly too.
The combination of brightly coloured sprinkles resting on top of these buttery Freckle Biscuits make this recipe too hard to resist!
A simple biscuit dough is key to this recipe, and it’s the same dough that I’ve also used with this Smartie Biscuits recipe. You can make the dough for these biscuits up to a day in advance, then you simply just need to bring it back to just under room temperature and continue with the recipe.
Why you will love this recipe:
- It’s versatile – why not try adding your favourite sweet on top? Jersey Caramels are also yummy.
- Freezer Friendly
- Recipe can be doubled.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Yes, you can freezer these biscuits for up to 2 months.
Yes you can! I would suggest adding ½ a cup of plain flour in it’s place, you may need to add a little more to get a soft dough like consistency.
You can find Chocolate Freckles in the confectionary aisle at your local supermarket.

Cookies were nice. 190 degrees is to high, cookies were burnt on the bottom at 12mins.

Oh these are so cute, Lauren 🙂 I’m rather partial to an impulse buy on occasion. You never know where it might lead you! I bet you were glad those Freckles turned into these cookies! 😉
