These buttery melt-in-your-mouth biscuits are so delicious.  They taste even better when the ends of the biscuits are dipped in chocolate and sprinkles added.  You can also sandwich two biscuits together with jam and buttercream. I recommend that you make these biscuits in warmer weather or make sure the butter is at room temperature and quite soft.  This helps to make the mixture easier to pipe onto the baking trays.
