Nicole says
We made these during our second week of Covid lockdown and they were a huge hit with all three of my kids and myself.
Lucy says
We're so glad you liked them!
Carina says
These tasted good as I used tasty aged cheese. I rolled them very thin however they were not crunchy - more chewy. This is likely due to the water instead of shortening. Dried out in oven on low heat for a few hours sorted out that.
Ella says
Can you freeze the dough?
Lucy says
Hi Ella, I haven't actually tried that with this recipe sorry!
Debbie says
Great recipe! I made mine into stars, hearts and circles. Good to throw in the freezer and pull out for lunch boxes when needed.

These are great for the kids. We made ours into little stars! I think using good quality aged cheeses makes all the difference 🙂

Marney says
I found them a little bland too to be honest, however my kids can't stop eating them and that's all that matters to me! Plus it's a good base recipe to add whatever flavour you like.
Marlene Barnard says
Will not recommend these biscuits. Very dry and tasteless.

We're sorry that you didn't enjoy them Marlene.
