Awsome recipe! exactly right! i advise you get a hand blender - the first time I tried it i used a spoon to mix and had the hardest time getting it to stick together - added water - bad idea, made the cookie a touch heavier than the light amaizing cookie i got with the use of a hand blender. I've used all kinds of filling, different jams, honey, nutella - thanks for this one!

I did not use the cookie recipe since I have my own. However, my recipe for the icing never worked out, so I used this one and it turned out perfect! I will continue to use this one every time I make empire cookies!

I was very excited when I found this recipe because I have very fond memories of Christmases past, making myself sick eating dozens of my grandmother's empire biscuits. However, when I made this recipe, I discovered that this recipe makes good sugar cookies, but they are not shortbread. This may be a different version of Empire Biscuits than the one I grew up with, but be warned - they are not shortbread!

These were a little too sweet for me but they looked realy pretty. I used a flower shaped cut out and they realy made the cookie tray look nice. I would probably make them again just because of how they look plus they may not be too sweet for other people. I haven't handed out the trays yet so I haven't heard.

These cookies are wonderful! I found the dough to be a little sticky to roll out, but otherwise this was a very easy recipe, and the results are very impressive. I made them to add to a wedding cookie table, and got many compliments on how delicious they were and how pretty they looked.
