When cool, you can spread these cookies with strawberry jam or lemon cheese for sandwich biscuits. On New Year’s Eve, they were arranged on a silver cake plate and served with ginger wine. This recipe is served and Gibson house in Toronto.
Get up, goodwife, and shake your feathers,
And dinna think that we are beggars:
For we are bairns come out to play,
Get up and gie’s our Hogmanay.
