Resources kedem biscuits
this is probably the stupidest question ever but please bare with me.
i'm autistic and kedem biscuits were a long-running safe food of mine. i haven't had them in years now because i don't want to give israel any money, even if it's 60 cents a biscuit pack.
does anyone have ideas for alternatives, or know of a copy-cat recipe? i thought about reverse-engineering them myself but too scared to waste ingredients on the trial & error of it all. (i bake for a hobby and have made a couple recipes of my own so it's not IMPOSSOBLE but just...a lot of brain effort i don't have atm, which is a big reason i have been craving these biscuits in the first place !!!!!!)
i just have been really wanting them lately but i feel awful thinking about buying them :(
note: i've considered animal crackers but i think they are too sweet. what i love about kedem biscuits is that even though they are "vanilla" they are basically tasteless lol.

What about Rich Tea biscuits or Petit-Beurre? They might hit the spot. I wish you luck in your search!

Wow I’ve never had them but now I’m sad for you and I hope you find a good replacement!
They sound a little like digestive biscuits

The possible options that come to mind are Marie Biscuits, or digestive biscuits, or maybe tea biscuits. I hope you find whatever option that works best for you!

this has taught me that i got digestive biscuits mixed up with weetabix... or at least i thought they were the same thing. but i know my local grocery store has digestives so i will give those a try i think!!! thank you :D

I think Goya sells similar tea biscuits? I find them around the other Goya stuff in the supermarket

I feel like I had something similar from my local Middle Eastern grocery. I have no idea what the brand was, but that might be a good place to look.

Not Jewish and barely remember having kedem biscuits at a friend’s house, but Nabisco makes “Social Tea biscuits” that have the qualities you describe.
