This post is not sponsored by Ossoro, I’m only sharing my experience of using this extract and I totally recommend it.

Avoid rolling the dough out too thick or the biscuits will lose their shape and unique melt in the mouth consistency. The beautiful orange flavour comes from this Brazilian orange essence which makes it perfect orange flavoured biscuits.
