Forgotten Cookies

I saw this recipe last year on TV. A coworker made them for a morning tea and they were delish. I've tweaked the recipe a bit and made these for Christmas gifts this year

Wow, they're beautiful!

They were very Christmasy with the chopped cranberries on them. And they were very tasty!

So, what is "castor sugar"?

[red_trillium]

SOrry about that! Castor sugar is a fine white sugar. If you eat white sugar, someone suggested putting it in a food processor. If you don't eat white sugar but eat unrefined brown type sugars the same thing would probably work. I don't know about honey in the recipe or other sweetners but it might be worth an experiment.

would powdered sugar work?

Hmmm, I don't know to be honest. I can't see why not but at the same time don't know if it would be too....powdery. It might be worth a try but you might want to cut back the sugar amount as it seems you'd get more sugar in the finer form than the granulated. Or is that my mis-informed brain thinking??
