  2. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bake biscuits for 10-12 mins until golden. Cool. Spread each with white chocolate and leave to set. Decorate, or write on buyer's name with red icing on the spot, if you like.

    Made these with the children. Easy to do and went down a treat. Will def make again. Instead of choc chips we just broke up 100g bar of dark chocolate.

    Very easy to make and turned out perfectly. Will definitely make again! I didn't use choc chips, just broke up some chocolate, and I didn't roll them out, just rolled small balls and flattened onto the baking tray.

    Fairly good, had to use fudge instead of chocolate chips -- didn't go to well though as fudge went everywhere -- but overall really nice. Would recommend putting in mini marshmallows!

    Anyone know how long I could keep them in the fridge for? Or could they go in the freezer?

    A great recipe! So simple to make! I halved this recipe to make around 15 biscuits. I've made these for valentines day for my boyfriend. I used heart shaped cookie cutters and instead of chocolate chips I used 100g of cut up chunks of chocolate. I then coated half the heart shaped cookie in milk chocolate. Wrapped up in some cute packaging these will be such a cute home made gift.

    Made these with my young children and they were very easy. I did not bother with the icing, just made the cookies. Delicious!

    These were lovely, I iced with a little water icing and instead of cutting them out rolled a big sausage and sliced it to make rounds which saved time.

    Very disappointed with this recipe. The Dough came out really wet and I had to put a lot of flour on to be able to roll them out. They're more like chocolate chip rock cakes than shortbread. I also found they lacked any real flavour. Won't be making these again!

    I was surprised by how good they tasted! And so easy to bake! I froze 3/4 of the batch for later, hopefully they won't have lost the flavour!!

    I used a heart shaped cookie cutter to make these as a valentines treat for work and they went down a storm! Had to add in an extra yolk to bind the mixture as I found it quite dry and crumbly but the end result was delicious - will definitely be making these again!
