Lindsey, what an easy peesy recipe, these whipped up fast and into the oven in 5-10 minutes or so. I found my piping bag in a few seconds, but the nozzles... ran away or gone into hiding or something, Grrr, so I improvised and rolled them into balls. Mine took 20 minutes to bake and are like little balls of shortbread. The only thing that holds them back from 5 stars is the fact that my mixture was very dry, like rough breadcrumbs so I added a tiny amount of water to get it to stick together into more of a dough. I think mine would have been still a bit stiff to pipe anyway, even if I had found the nozzles, which is a pity becuase the photo could have been much nicer :) Sorry that the photos not as good as I would have liked. I will have fun making this with the kids in future as there is nothing wrong with the taste and prep time is so fast, so it's well suited to small childrens concentration span = almost zero LOL. Please see my rating system, a lovely 4 stars :) Thanks!
