Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to get little hands busy in the kitchen and create something yummy. These heart-shaped biscuits are easy to make, fun to decorate and utterly delicious to eat.
Top Tip: We have doubled the original recipe and frozen one half into a sausage shape, so we can slice and bake a cookie whenever we fancy one!
(We followed the Easy Iced Biscuits recipe from BBC Good Food.)
Ingredients:
- 400g butter
- 400g golden caster sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or the zest of 1 lemon
- 800g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
Heat oven to 200C or 180C fan.
Method: Cream the butter and sugar, beat in the eggs and carefully stir in the flour until you form a soft dough. Roll out to 1cm thick, cut out heart shapes and place on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Cool then decorate!
