- Preheat oven to 160 C. Line two baking trays with baking paper.
- Process chickpea flour, butter, icing sugar and rosewater in a food processor until a firm dough ball is formed.

- Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Let biscuits cool completely on the tray. Store in airtight tins.

These were ok, but not at all like shortbread. Quite chewy and had a slightly strange flavour. I wouldn't make them again. - 05 Jul 2012 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
I didn't like these at all. Tried rolling the dough to different thicknesses but the texture and flavour didn't work for me. - 13 Jun 2015 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
These were really yummy and well enjoyed. I did think they were far too sweet and rich, however. When I make these again I will add less sugar and butter. - 30 Aug 2014 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
