Simple Biscuits



Little monster birthday on summer holiday, she order me to make some biscuits to give away to her friend before end of the school term. Then I'm just think to make something simple and cute like this simple biscuits with Winnie The Pooh cookies cutter and stamp with alphabet cookies stamp all of her friends name on every biscuits. So easy and is for the family play time together. All the kids, even the parent love it because is special. The kids love to have a biscuit with they name on it. The parent ask me a question " Where do you get it from"

Adapted From: Stork

200 gm Stork packet or any other brand butter

250 gm plain flour + extra for dusting
1 teaspoon baking powder
100 gm caster sugar
2 large egg yolks


Method:

  1. Cut the butter into small pieces.
  2. Sieve the flour and baking powder into a large bowl.
  3. Add the sugar, egg yolks and butter and mix with a wooden spoon, hand mixer or cold hands quickly into a stiff dough (don’t mix for too long!). Wrap the dough in clingfilm and leave to rest and chill at least 30 minutes in the fridge.
  4. Preheat oven to 190°C, 170°C fan oven, Gas mark 5.
  5. Dust the work surface with a little flour and roll out the dough until it is about 5 mm thick.(if the dough too sticky add more flour but not too much, little by little)
  6. Cut out shapes with a sharp knife or cookie cutters and place on the baking sheet lined with baking paper. Fold the dough scraps together, roll them out and cut out more shapes.(can use any shape of cookie cutters)
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until cooked and lightly browned. Leave the cookies to cool on the baking sheet.
  8. Dust the cookies with icing sugar.(I'm omit this step)
Notes:

Can top up the eye, nose and mouth with melt chocolate with piping bag.
Make it more adorable, use your own imagination.
