Chocolate Spice Football Biscuits

You kids know that I make things that I may or may not share. Usually this pertains to, ahem, Ahrt.  When comes to baking, however, it's another story. I love baking almost as much as I like baking for other people. I'm more of a cake-maker but every now and then I make brownies, cookies, and the like, especially if I have to travel with my goods.

Since tomorrow is my Dad's birthday and I will be going a ways to visit him, I decided to make him cookies, or biscuits, depending on where you're from; they're also a bit fluffy. Football shaped biscuit-cookies.

Oh, yes. This is Steelers Country.

 I would usually coat the bottom with my super top-secret orange glazed but the lack thereof allows it to be enjoyed with tea, milk, cider, or, most suiting for football season, beer. Besides, like Bricktop, they're already sweet enough.

Hug it, chug it, besos.
