Great taste and lovely delicate texture. Very impressed with these cookies. I found them too sweet with the hundreds and thousands around the edge and left them off after the first batch. Another variation I found good was to sprinkle the cookies with caster suger before baking them rather than icing them. These are very popular with my kids
