    Really delicious recipe. Easy to make. I was a little unsure of how many to cut, and how thick my roll of dough should be, so I might make a few little changes next time. Once I put them out, they did not last long. My husband loved them Smile

    These are delicious, very crumbly and I found a little difficult to cut the pastry at first but easy enough to mould into your own little odd shapes.
    Will make a great chrissy present.

    Lovely recipe, thanks. They taste as divine as they look.

    If you want perfect cookies, weigh the rolls into equal sized portions before shaping cookies. Even though the cookies break while cutting , it is easy to get them into shape.

    Submitted by JudyPrice on 6. January 2018 - 10:34.

    Love these. I make 2 glad wrapped shaped logs from the dough & just keep them stored in the fridge. When I want to bake them I leave out for 30 mins & slice while the roll is still firm (much easier to cut into slices that way) & bake. Love the white chocolate dip to create the best shortbread ever!

    Submitted by Jerrajude on 20. December 2017 - 12:29.

    Great recipe. I chopped the nuts and berries first up, put them aside (few seconds on Sp 4). Then added at step 4 and mixed them in on Sp 3 Counter-clockwise operation. I found this gave me a more consistent mix and didn't over mix trying to get the fruit & nuts chopped.
    All in all, love the recipe.

    Just made these, still cooling so dipping still to go, but they taste great, thanks.
    Did nobody else find them impossible to "cut", due to the solids? I found it helpful to make the roll in my Thermomat and refigerate for about 1/2 hr, but they sure needed shaping after cutting !

    Replying to query about substituting pistachios, I have made them just with cranberries and they're very nice. You could sub for white choc bits and not put white choc on outside (might be a bit sweet with both).
