Originally published March 2013.

These soft, almost cake-like cookies make a very welcome afternoon treat with a steaming cup of tea or tall glass of cold milk.

They can easily be prepared in a few minutes and if you like.  You can keep the wrapped dough in the fridge for 2 or 3 days so that you can bake them off fresh a few at a time.
