    These were great and so easy! lacking brandy, I substituted sherry, I don't know that it made a difference! I'm not a great baker, so I was pleased to find that this recipe behaved itself beautifully and gave me perfect little almost shortbready-crisp biscuits, they were perfect! I had halved the recipe, Because my baking is often a bit hit-and-miss, next time I will make the full amount because these are almost gone already, my DD1 took half of them back with her to varsity and I think she would have liked to take them all.... Thanks pastryprincess! Made for PAC Spring 2008
