Grandma's Shortbread Biscuits

These shortbread biscuits are made using my Grandma's recipe. Actually I preferred to call her Nan but it doesn't sound as good does it? I should also point out that whilst it is a short recipe passed down from my Grandma to my Mum, I have no idea where she got it. It may well be like the episode of Friends where Phoebe found out her Grandma's secret cookie recipe was from the back of a packet. Either way, the cookies are easy to make and remind me of being little. They aren't as buttery as my usual shortbread recipe, and the cherry on the top.
