These cookies are a favourite with my husbands family and this version was delicious, very tender with that melt-in-your-mouth texture I was hoping for! Instead of rolling and cutting out the cookies I rolled the dough into a log,chilled and then sliced into 1/4 " rounds. It makes for slightly less than perfect circles but is much easier if you're not in the mood to fuss with rolling pins and cutters. Otherwise I followed the recipe exactly and was very pleased, will definitely make these again, thanks!

This is a cookie I always bought at a scottish bakery here in town. The bakery burned down and I had to find a recipe for empire biscuits. I took them to a potluck and they disappeared. My mom who is from Scotland was impressed that I could make them just like the bakery. I get tons of requests for this recipe.
