This biscuit is quite a bit different to what I expected- they are not very sweet, and the dough really quite thick, texture is not as crumbly as a shortbread. I added a bit more sugar. I rolled them out quite thinly, then made the biscuits into a sandwich with a little jam in between before baking. Not too much! The jam did make them sweeter. Thanks for a different style biscuit.

these were good. i didnt put the jam on them before baking (i have some jam haters) so i put it out for them to put on if they wanted. i thought they would be more of a biscuit but they are more like a shortbread cookie.. my 5 y.o. neice couldnt stop eating them and insisted on taking 'those circle things' home with her. probably would be a 5 star if made with jam and almonds cooked on.. easy to make too! thanks
