COOK’S NOTE: To transform these biscuits into something to really impress, sandwich them together with a simple cream cheese frosting flavoured with Grand Marnier. Simply beat 100g cream cheese, 150g unsalted butter, 2 cups icing sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract for 5 minutes until light. Mix in ¼ cup Grand Marnier.
