Yummy with tea, coffee and, well..everything! AND dead easy to throw together. Using mini cutters (around 2 inches) this makes 10 biscuits, I always double this recipie otherwise they never see tomorrow!

If you dont having an icing bag and piping nozzle the buttercream can be spread on using a knife.
