I don't know where she got the recipe from, but these biscuits my daughter makes are really delicious.
Orange and Cranberry Cookies
125 g. butter
75 g. caster sugar
Grated zest of one orange
1 egg yolk
150 g. plain flour
50 g. dried cranberries (I daresay you could use sultanas or raisins if you can't be bothered to buy cranberries especially)
Preheat oven to 180 deg. c.
Cream together butter and sugar, and beat in egg yolk and orange zest. Add flour and cranberries. Mix until you have a smooth dough. Roll the dough into golfball sized balls, place on a greased baking tray and flatten out. Place well apart as they spread.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden. You can drizzle with melted chocolate once they've cooled if you wish.

The cranberries make them tangy, but other dried fruit would be fine.
