  1. These look lovely, however over here in the UK I am unfamiliar with what the ingredient ‘shortening’ is, we obviously call it something else over here. Please could you explain what it is. Thank you

    1. Many people in the UK are confused by the term “Shortening” and don’t think it is available in the UK. In fact, in the UK shortening is available under brand names such as Cookeen, Trex, White Flora, etc.

  2. My husband gave a BIG THUMBS UP for these. He said they are VERY GOOD! I really love them as well. While baking, the aroma of the spices filled the house with pure deliciousness! My recipe made 32 balls of dough. I didn’t realize they’d flatten out so much. I put them all on a single (but large) cookie sheet, only to have them run into each other. Next time, I’ll bake in batches. I used butter instead of shortening, but that was the only modification. Thanks very much to the Kidney Community Kitchen!!!
