I have just made the original biscuits from book - loved them but I ate them all!
Will definately try Sinead's suggestions - are you from the same part
of the world as me?

I made a version of these for the first time the other day and they were delicious! 

I combined a couple of tweaks to make a Jaffa flavor - i added zest of an orange with the sugar and almonds and i reduced the flour to 130g and added 20g of cocoa.

I used Herseys cocoa which has quite a strong flavor and the biscuits came up very chocolatey and almost over powered any orange flavor. But they reminded me of Byron Bay Cookies in terms of texture,they were so deliciously crumbly. 

I will be making these on a regular basis.

They are so quick, easy and tasty.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Love these - definitely takes longer to mix though.  Found they still worked fine when I over-warmed the butter...

Will try some different variations and lessen the sugar next time.  Is raw sugar just as sweet as refined white sugar?
If you see someone without a smile - give them one of yours   :(  ;)  :)  ;D  :D

Wow - why have I not seen this before?! Will certainly be trying these soon.  Have printed off those wonderful tweaks and and will pop them in the book so as not to forget them. (prone to doing that these days . .  ;D ;D)

Made these today for the grandkids (and hubby). Missy Moo:"Nan remember I don't like nuts"... She didn't know I used hazelnuts  ;)
They took some home and said that mummy had to make them because they are "awesome"  (mum has a a Thermo too).  Next time, I will use less sugar.

I think I might have over processed as the texture was "wet" and I had to "drop" tsp onto the tray.

As long as they were enjoyed and tasted good.
