Time is just flying by and Christmas is less than three weeks away! I have got to start baking as everyone loves treats for the holidays. Each year I make a variety of goodies for the season in addition to our favorite Rich Fruit Cake.

Warmly spiced traditional Rich Fruit Cake studded with dried fruits and nuts. Layers of brandy and sherry keep it moist and flavorful. | RotiNRice.com

Last year I made these…

This time round, I am going to start with these savory Cheese and Bacon Biscuits. Ro-Jiro (second son) loves these savory treats but he thinks they should be called a biscuit. I have no problems calling it a cookie…why not? Savory cookies for Christmas breakfast sounds really good to me!

Traditional and Gluten-Free Versions

I made two batches using basically the same ingredients but with different flours. The first batch uses all-purpose flour while the second uses a gluten-free flour mix. I added some sorghum flour and garbanzo bean flour to the mix to give the cookies a firmer structure. I must say that I am very happy with the results.

These are the gluten-free Cheese and Bacon Biscuits. They are slightly flatter but still hold their shape. They also have a nice cookie texture that is not crumbly.

    Hey Biren – you are getting into the yuletide spirit early! And making me a bit nervous lol I will have barely a week to prepare for Christmas when I return from our holiday. I wanted to drop in and say hi and bye, as we’re leaving later today 🙂

    These biscuits remind me of the bacon biscotti I posted way back when, on Quickies…. and they are making my big boy drool big time, behind me. I think I may make these on Boxing Day, to dunk into curry devil, for brunch. Does that sound too weird? lol We Serani are notorious for our strange eating habits hahahaha

      Don’t worry and just enjoy your vacation. Everything will eventually fall into place.

      I did not know you have a bacon biscotti on your blog. Will check it out sometime. Dunking them into devil curry sounds good. Hey, it is whatever the family enjoys. BTW, I have not heard of the term Serani for a long, long time. 🙂

    I love your savory biscuits! Can I eat that for lunch…? =P You make lots of goodies for the holidays. No wonder you are busy. Even I’m not a baker (or I should now say I’m a beginner baker) I’m already so busy, I can’t imagine a lot of baker who actually bake and do all the other stuff for the holidays. Amazing. Your fruit cake looks so good! I LOOOOVE fruit cake….

      Thanks Katherine! I did not want to leave my eldest son out. He is a happy camper as I will be making more GF cookies with the 4 cups of GF flour mix that I have concocted. I am very happy with it as they seem to work really well.

    Biren, I made your savory bacon biscuits and they were delicious!! I didn’t have bacon so I used sausage and my family gobbled them right up. YUM! Your recipe reminds me of my mother-in-laws recipe for spicy cheese crackers. Her recipes requires rice cereal for some added crunch and a little more cayenne pepper to create a crisp and spicy treat!! Thanks again for sharing your recipe in my Christmas Cookie Exchange Party♥

      So glad to hear you enjoyed the cookies! Yes, definitely spice it up. I kept it relatively mild because my son has a very mild palate. Adding rice cereals is a great idea. I will have to try that the next time.

Thanks for sharing all your other wonderful recipes from last year, as well! Have not made fruit cake for ages, at least 20 years…that is a long time. Beautiful fruit cake, as well!
