  Lovely biscuit. I added the zest of one orange as well to make them really Christmasy.

  Great recipe and so easy, even for a non-baker! Followed the ingredients precisely, used the food processor for mixing into dough, but it did take quite a bit longer in the oven than stated. Sprinkled with sugar at the end for a sparkly effect - made cute Xmas presents!

  Made these using gluten free flour for my coeliac brother. They turned out lovely. Wasn't sure whether to chop the nuts or not, decided not to and they were fine. Don't think they would have delivered enough nutty flavour using such a delicately flavoured nut if they were in smaller pieces. The dark chocolate and ginger ones sound delicious, I will try those too, but not just yet as on post-Christmas diet and who can eat only 1 biscuit (not me!)

  These smell like Christmas! My vegetarian friend will also tell you it looks like a sausage... Extremely popular, but DON'T make them 5cm in diameter - they're enormous!! If you run out of pistachios, chopped almonds will work just as well.

  I made the dough in the morning and placed in the fridge to bake when I got home from work, I dont know where I went wrong but mine just melted into one flat pancake, I coudnt believe it I was so disappointed, maybe I over mixed the butter and sugar.

  This is the best recipe for refrigerator cookies I've used. Made a batch with chcocolate chips and nuts - mmmm and another with cherries and mango - so yum. Will be using this recipe again and again.

  Just love these easy cookies. Try cherries and pecan nuts or dark chocolate chips or cranberries and pecans. Great to have on standby in the freezer

  These biscuits were so delicious and very moreish. I will be making them again and again. Very easy to make too. I didn't quite have enough pistachios so used walnuts to substitute a little. Lovely.

  I could have sworn I'd already rated and reviewed this recipe, but can't see it - think I must have imagined it! This has become a staple recipe for me. It never fails and it's simple and utterly delicious. I've tried it with stem ginger, with pistachio and dark choc and with apricots, as well as the original (and in my opinion, nicest) pistachio and cranberry. I've made them as gifts and also taken them to work for a meeting and they were very well received. I've substituted butter for soft Stork and various "pretend" butter products, as well as olive oil based spreads and all work equally well. Highly recommended as a grown up biscuit.

  Lovely shortbready biscuit! I made mine with choc chip and pecan, and used a bit of goats' butter for a slightly different flavour

  Very simple recipe, I used chocolate instead of cranberries and left it in chunks so it was hard to slice, but they came out perfect and have been popular :)
