Tattie ones...

Then you have Orkney Fudge, tablet, macaroons, tunnocks caramel wafers, the infamous deep fried mars bars...

Aberdeen butteries should be fairly easy to find a recipe for. Ideal after 15 seconds in the microwave, or unheated with butter and jam... Breakfast for many a student on their way to college...

Snickerdoodle scones. My grandkids love them and my grandkids range from toddler to university graduates so it's not just young kids who eat them.
