  These biscuits weren't particularly sweet nor cinnamony. Also needed some salt. Usually I am a big fan of Good Food Recipies but I wouldn't bother to make these again.

  Quite bland, quite soft, I cooked these in two batches and with the second I grated lots of fresh nutmeg and more cinnamon over the top with the sugar which improved them slightly. I wouldn't make them again.

  I read the comments, so when I made these I used double the amounts of cinnamon and brown sugar - they were quite cinnamony, but quite difficult to roll and cut. If I make them again, I would probably make a paste of brown sugar, cinnamon and butter for the swirl.

  Oops - just read the comments on these biscuits. Mine are in the fridge resting, waiting to roll out and bake them. Hope they're OK, will write again.

  Well made them - they're OK, but wouldn't make them again. Bit ordinary and not worth the faff.

  I agree with Andie GF. I followed the recipe, they were quite nice but wouldn't make them again. Very buttery rather than the taste of Cinnamon and alot of work.

  igreat biscuits! not great reviews from people about the cinnamon - but i made my own cinnamon paste (using honey) and they have turned out beautifully! a little bit gooey because of the honey combination - so in my eyes - perfect! give it a try - but perhaps make a cinnamon paste!!! X

  I picked out this recipe to make for a coffee morning and had bought all the ingredients before reading the reviews. So decided to go ahead and make them and was pleasantly surprised. They're not overly sweet, but have a great cinnamon flavour. Given the comments about the rather taste-less biscuit dough, I added cinnamon to that too. I chilled the dough overnight in the fridge so I could bake them off just before everyone arrived. This meant that the dough was pretty solid, but it cut very easily and the biscuits held their shape well. Maybe its better to leave the dough in the fridge longer rather than just 30 minutes as the recipe says you can do. On baking, mine didn't go very golden brown and when I took them out of the oven after 14 minutes, they felt slightly soft still. But after cooling they had become more solid and were a nice consistency. They're not overly sweet but taste good with a cup of coffee. I would make them again.

  with this recipe i had to adjust it a lil :/, i read through the comments and doubled the sugar, added another egg yolk and half of an egg white and added flour until it came to a workable dough, followed the rest of the recipe and they came out really good, though i left them in for more mins too long they were nice and gooey in the middle and hard on the outside and i made these a few hrs ago and the plate is now empty. oh i also added more cinnamon and brown sugar and icing sugar on top for decoration :)
