From simple biscuits for dunking and savoury bites to cute bakes to give away, Nadiya knows how to elevate the everyday cookie to something special. With her signature flavour twists, clever tricks and down-to-earth advice, her new book, Nadiya Bakes, is packed with biscuit recipes we want to try again and again. We've put together our favourites from her new book and thrown in a few extras from her previous cookbooks for good measure.

Kransekake Biscuit Tower from Nadiya Bakes by Nadiya Hussain
This Scandi-inspired biscuit tower is designed for special celebrations with rings of stacked chewy, sweet, almond biscuit dough, decorated with chocolate-covered nuts, sugared almonds and edible flowers. Nadiya has found a way to make this without any specialist equipment – all you need is a round cake tin base, a knife and the ability to cut a freehand circle, she recommends.
