A Lincoln biscuit is a circular shortcake biscuit, most commonly decorated on one side with a pattern of raised dots. It is commonly purchased in Ireland. Lincoln biscuits can be found in Irish supermarkets and are manufactured by Jacob's. The basic recipe has come under academic scrutiny [2] [3] and commercial analysis.
The McVitie's version had the word 'Lincoln' embossed on the center of the biscuit.
In Argentina, Kraft Foods produces Galletitas Lincoln, rectangular Lincoln biscuits that have the dot pattern, under the Terrabusi brand name.
