These are a must for any christmas cookie tray in my family. A sweet, flavourful sandwich cookie that you can decorate any way you like. I like to use a teeny tiny cookie cutter to make bite-sized cookies, but I believe that they are traditionally made with slightly larger rounds.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my biscuits turned out dry and crumbly. I'm going to try again soon and hopefully they'll turn out better.

The dough for these biscuits was a bit tricky to work with, but the end result was worth it. The biscuits were flaky and delicious.

These biscuits were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.
