Yesterday I made my lovely boyfriend some Valentines Biscuits yesterday.
Decorated they look a bit messy but he complained he didn't want them to girly, haha.
I also have a recipe for you today! :)
The recipe makes around 24 biscuits but depending on how thick you roll out your dough/size of cutters I think you could get more.
They're definitely a cute little treat for anyone and could be adapted for any occasion.
Ingredients:
100g unsalted, softened room temp butter,
100g caster sugar,
1 egg,
275g plain flour,
1sp vanilla extract,
For decoration:
400g icing sugar,
3-4t bsp of water,
2-3 drops of food colourings,
edible glitter.
1. Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 5 & line the baking tray with greaseproof paper.
2. Cream the butter & sugar together until it becomes fluffy.
3. Beat in the egg as well as the vanilla extract.
4. Stir the flour in until the mixture becomes a dough.
5. Roll out your dough using flour on the surface and rolling pin
6. Using your desired cutters to cut out the shapes & place on baking tray.
7. Bake for around 5-10 minutes. The biscuits will be golden in colour when ready.
8. Add all the ingredients for the icing together in a bowl & mix making sure you sift the icing powder. Decorate to your hearts content, not forgetting the sprinkles. :)
Kian loved the biscuits and munched through quite a few whilst we were cooking dinner together. We made fresh chicken burgers with wedges, tasted absolutely gorgeous. We need to cook like that more often rather than opting for take-away.
Looks a bit messy but it was yummy!
We didn't doing anything too fancy as Valentine's day as we believe it has no historical/real meaning is just a way for companies to boost profits. We did catch-up on Coppers on 4od! Such a funny documentary series!
Hope you were all spoiled and had lovely days? xox
