These are my favourite biscuits - I can't believe I've found this recipe and made them myself!! I didn't have a big star thing (!) (I'm new to piping bags!) so made some small fluted ones and some sandwiched with chocolate. Maybe I'll post a photo as I am very proud! Thank you, Ann, just what I needed on a dreary British Monday!!
