Easy
I found the recipe very easy but WAY TO MUCH SUGAR. It calls for 250g of caster sugar. As I didn't have any caster I used regular white sugar and cut the amount down to about 128g and it was just right. I also added a little almond essence as well. The biscuits once cooled were a perfect balance of softness with a hint of crunchiness. I iced some and did an egg wash on the rest with just a tiny sprinkling of sugar. My two grownup lads were in heaven. If I had added the whole amount of sugar and iced them as well, they would have been to sweet and sickly.

Altered ingredient amounts.
cut the amount of sugar from 250g down to around 128g and used regular granulated sugar and added a little almond essences. Left out the orange zest and orange juice.
