These are a must for any christmas cookie tray in my family. A sweet, flavourful sandwich cookie that you can decorate any way you like. I like to use a teeny tiny cookie cutter to make bite-sized cookies, but I believe that they are traditionally made with slightly larger rounds.

These biscuits were a disaster! The dough was too dry, the filling was too sweet, and the glaze was too thick. I would not recommend this recipe.

The dough was a bit dry, but the filling was delicious. I'll try adding a little more butter to the dough next time.

These Empire Biscuits were a delightful treat! The dough was easy to work with and the filling was perfectly sweet and tangy. I especially enjoyed the glaze on top, which added a nice crunch. Overall, I would highly recommend this recipe!
