Looking for cookie recipes for Eid al Fitr we came across Ellouisa's Cooking, a blog with a lot of cookie recipes. We liked to try the marshmellow biscuits. Because our dough remained too crumbly to roll out, we adjusted the amount of butter. Otherwise we followed the recipe exactly and the cookies turned out fine so we pass on the recipe with 2 tablespoons more butter, just see how it goes. Our biscuits turned out very good indeed!
