4. Divide dough and form into flat disks.

5. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill at least 1 hour. Also you can leave chill overnight. This dough freezes beautifully.

6. Roll dough out about ¼ inch thick and divide into shapes.

7. Bake at 350 degrees for 11 minutes until the edges are slightly golden.

The Margaret biscuits recipes and other biscuit recipes vary different, which add half of the cornstarch, so there will have some nice gap. The beautiful gap is the symbol of the real Margaret biscuits. Because of the addition of starch, makes it more crisp taste and mouth.

Here have a short story about Margaret biscuits. Margaret biscuits called "living in Italy Stallone Leisha Miss Margaret," the English name Italian Hard-boiled Egg Yolk Cookies. A long time ago, when a patisserie makes cookies, remembered the name of his lover and put her own fingerprints on the cookies. Margaret biscuits derive from this story.
