Vanilla biscuits
Yummy vanilla biscuits for any occasion. These are similar to shortbread biscuits, with a rich buttery texture and superb vanilla flavour. Use any sort of cutter you desire for different shapes, or simply slice into fingers.
Ingredients
Makes: 6 to 8 large biscuits
- 125g unsalted butter, softened
- 50g caster sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 170g plain flour

- Preheat your oven to 180 C / Gas 4. Line a tray with baking parchment.
- First put your butter and sugar into a bowl and mix until they are light and fluffy
- Add your vanilla extract, then gradually add your flour until it forms a paste. Best to mash this with your hands at this point.
- Put a tad bit of flour on the bench and roll out your biscuit dough. Cut out shapes (I used Minnie and Micky Mouse cutters). Place on the prepared tray.
- Put in the oven for 25 minutes, or longer if you like extra crispy biscuits. Cool on the tray, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional
Decorate your cooled biscuits with icing or fondant icing.

These were not sweet enough for us, but fine for adding a layer of icing on the top as this sweetened it enough. - 31 Dec 2015
