Orkney Kisses

Sift the flour and cornflour together

Cream the margarine and the icing sugar together with an electric whisk

Add the flour and mix it all together

Put baking paper on a baking tray

Roll into balls the size of a walnut and place on the tray (12g each for precision, making 38 balls total)

Flatten the balls slightly with a fork so they look more biscuit-like and have a flat edge on the bottom

Bake in a preheated oven at 160°C for approximately 15 minutes until lightly tanned

Allow to cool

To make the icing, sift the sugar and soften the butter

Add the milk and vanilla essence to the butter and sugar

Mix with an electric whisk and put the mixture in the fridge until it is quite stiff

Once both the biscuits and the icing is cool put a generous dose of icing on one biscuit and join it together with another
