Cream Cheese Poppy Seed Biscuits

Since this blog is about experiments in the kitchen I think I can still post the ones that I may not perfectly satisfied with.  Everyone has different tastes, and I love sweets.  I’m not 100% sure how I feel about these, the recipe called them cookies.  When I think cookie, I think sweet.  So, if I expect something sweet and it turns out being not so sweet when I bite into it- that puts me off. For that reason, I’ve decided to call these treats biscuits instead and then they tasted just fine.
