About the bake
This biscuit dough is a fun mix which is ideal for rolling out and using cutters to create the biscuit of your choice. Easy to make and fun to decorate. Don't forget to freeze your leftover dough for another baking day!
Method
Step 1:
Sieve the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl and set aside.
Step 2:
In a large bowl cream the butter and sugar until pale. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
Step 3:
Add the flour to the butter mix and mix until the dough is formed. Wrap the biscuit dough in clingfilm and chill for at least one hour.
Step 4:
Preheat the oven to 170°C (150°C fan, gas mark 3). Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to about 0.5cm.
Step 5:
Cut out the biscuits and transfer to baking sheet. Roll up the trimmings and repeat stages above to make more biscuits. Bake for 8 – 12 minutes until golden.
Step 6:
Remove and transfer to a cooling wire and leave until completely cool before decorating.
Step 7:
The baked biscuits can be stored in an air tight container and are best eaten within 1-2 days. Alternatively, freeze your biscuit dough (wrapped in cling film) for up to 2 months. Allow to defrost in the fridge before baking.

Recipe Reviews
Great to make together with children, also not too sweet
They were easy to make i put ginger in the dough and it adds alot of flavour to the biscuits
Really good I would recommend a bit of sugar
On them
This recipe was good my child made it all by herself and she’s only 5 lovely recipe quite quick and fun and quick just one bad thing a bit crumbly even after cooling
Delicious! I had to alter the ingredients slightly by reducing the flour to 250g, leaving out the salt, using just the egg yolk and doubling the amount of vanilla extract. We also made them 1cm instead of 0.5cm put the smaller biscuits on for 15min and the larger biscuits in for 4minutes longer (19min). My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the consistency and taste. Yum!
There is most definitely something wrong with this recipe. What a waste of time, effort, energy, and ingredients.
The clue is that it has five stars under reviews when one googles the recipe, yet when you look at the reviews below there are a lot of negative reviews. It doesn't make sense.
