What a surprise - they turned out just right ... according to my honest tasting panel ...
What can I say - don't take any shortcuts - follow the recipe and method.
Remember overworking the dough with your hands will cause the butter to start melting making the it very sticky/tacky and difficult to manage so be careful.
I placed plastic rods either side so that the dough would roll out evenly to 1cm thickness ... and as recommended placed the dough between two sheets of baking parchment for rolling out.
I guess you can create any shape using a knife or indeed cookie cutters - as I did today when making some more.
Refridgerate them for 30 mions before placing them in the pre-heated oven to cook for 20 minutes.
They are delicious and very fragile - next timeI shall add ... maybe nuts or edible lavender, lemon zest .... the list is endless. I know ginger - I absolutely love ginger.
Go on ... try some ... you know you want to ... lip licking good :)
They would make a delightful gift - as is anything home baked - made with love of course x
