method
1. Whisk the butter in a bowl until soft, but not oily. Add the caster sugar and beat again. Use a fork to stir in the flour and the nuts.
2. Turn out on to a lightly floured work surface and knead lightly into a ball.
3. Roll out thinly between sheets of nonstick paper and stamp out twelve rounds using a plain or fluted 6.5 cm (2 1/2 inch) cutter, kneading and rerolling until all the dough is used up.
4. Place the rounds on buttered baking sheets. Bake in the oven at 170°C (325°F) mark 3 for 20-25 minutes, until slightly coloured. Cool on a wire rack.
5. Decorate with coffee butter frosting if liked and sprinkle with chopped nuts.
