My granny gave me this recipe over the phone the other day, she said they taste like shortbread but you bake them a little more golden than your traditional shortbread. My addition was to change normal sugar and use Equa Gold’s Golden Light Organic Raw Vanilla Sugar, as soon as you open the package you are hit with a strong vanilla flavour. It is a great price you get 750 grams its $11.80 and making this recipe didn’t even make a dent in the bag. Sweet, buttery cookie with hints of vanilla bean fantastic for the the weekend morning or afternoon tea.
