May 1, 2015

I made these cookies from Vegan About Town for late-night bill of fare games (and, it turns out, some roughshod Pictionary) on a weekend away. It's a handy, pared-back recipe requiring alone a modest release of ingredients together with minimal utensils - I bet you lot could fifty-fifty describe it off alongside a fork together with a potent arm instead of an electrical beater.

It's a spell since I've used lemon myrtle together with inward the interim it's function much to a greater extent than accessible - I institute my render inward the footing spice department of our local supermarket. I similar its residue of brilliant citrus together with earthy flavours, together with I used a generous paw when adding it to this dough. The biscuit base of operations is buttery similar shortbread, but if you lot recall the biscuits from the oven early on they remain soft together with doughy instead of setting hard. On the other paw macadamias are all the tastier alongside toasting, together with hence it's worth letting 'em larn a lilliputian gilded roughly the edges earlier cooling them off.

These biscuits are evidently inward presentation but a seize alongside teeth confirms that they've got something particular to them, together with that you'll wishing many to a greater extent than bites of them still.
