My grandmother brought this recipe with her from Scotland and always served it at the holidays (or whenever we wanted a special treat). I've translated her measurements into U.S. but the recipe is the same.

These cookies were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding a little more butter next time.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I was so excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The cookies were dry and crumbly, and they didn't have much flavor. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
