melt in ya mouth choco butter icing!!
rub soft butter into icing sugar. (so it takes on a yellow tinge and breadcrumb texture.) Add cocoa and a bit of water and vanilla essence using an electric beater,
beat for 5 or so mins!! This is soft and fluffy and melts in ya mouth!! You can do the same for a lemon icing. Instead of adding water and essence, add lemon juice to butter icing sugar mix.
You can take out the cocoa in this one! You can make it any flavour you like:)

Ps sorry omitted to add that after sandwiching together the viennesse kisses you dust with sifted icing sugar. They look so pretty on the plate.

The Edmonds shrewsbury biscuits are a lovely shortbread style mix, and are beautiful sandwiched together with a boysenberry or 3 berry mix jam, dusted with sifted icing sugar

Made these yesterday and they are so delicious. Ended up with about 40 of them, nice and small. Gave some away so we didn't have to eat them all.
