Thanks farfallina. I may try these with almonds as DH isn't fond of walnuts. I made the blue cheese and walnut biscuits in the Festive book and he then informed me he'd rather not have the walnuts! We've only been together 42 years.

oh dear Cookie!!! At least he told you I guess 

I think my like might like these - as soon as I read the name I wanted to try them but had to check them to see if the mob would eat them. My hips couldn't cope with me having to eat them all

What about hazelnuts?

Good one farfallina.  SOunds interesting indeed.

Funny cookie1 - MrsT only took about a year to tell me that she didn't like tofu, yoghurt, ricotta..... but she kept buying them every week - just because I love them    and I kept cooking them for her !!!!
