Biscuits are a delicious treat to dunk into tea or simple just munch on as you're watching a film and baking them can be as easy or hard as you want to make it.
We just absolutely love Sweet Amb's beautiful cookies. Yes, we hear you, not everyone has the amazing decorating biscuit talent that Sweet Amb's has - we certainly don't. But there is no reason that this should stop you from making your own. We have a variety of
cookie cutters available at Yolli to help you to get started.
We've put together a super simple recipe for biscuits that you can try out yourself at home. If you're feeling a little adventurous why not add your own variations to this recipe below by adding chocolate chips, white chocolate bits, raisins or lemon/lime zest.
Simple Recipe for Biscuits
250g butter, softened
140g caster sugar
1 egg yolk
2 tsp vanilla extract
300g plain flour
Step 1:
Mix 250g softened butter and 140g caster sugar
in a large bowl with a wooden spoon
Step 2:
Add 1 egg yolk and 2 tsp vanilla extract and briefly beat to combine.
Step 3:
Sift over 300g plain flour and stir until the mixture is well combined – you might need to get your hands in at the end to give everything a really good mix and press the dough together. (If little ones are helping - be sure that they have washed their mitts!)
Step 4:
Put into the oven (180C/fan 160C/gas 4) for 12-15 minutes.
Step 5:
Leave your biscuits to cool on a rack before you can begin the oh so exciting decorating!
