Amaretto Biscuits

[CreamPuff63]

Finding amaretto biscuits in the supermarkets can be hard sometimes, and they look like they would be very simple to make. Does anyone have a recipe please?

Thanks very much nay nay. I have a lovely Margaret Fulton dessert recipe that you bake peaches and have a crushed amaretto mix over the top. Very simple and tasty.

It will be the amaretto liquor that will make these bickies extravagant!

I'll convert the biccies recipe, and then post up the baked peaches recipe to go with it.
