Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    We enjoyed these. I hadn’t read the other notes, but refrigerated the dough for a while before rolling out. The icing amount was exactly right for the cookies. My friends (the cookie experts) really liked them.

    We like these too, they definitely taste like the Christmas cookies from my childhood in Germany. I also found the dough to be very soft and added what seemed like quite a lot of flour to the worktop and rolling pin to aid rolling out. Together with icing and sprinkles these biscuits came out incredibly sweet.

    These were delicious! The dough was definitely looser than expected, by far. I rolled out using flour, and added extra to the dough prior to rolling. I also chilled the dough for about half and hour. If you make a couple of adjustments, they make a delicious orange cookie!
