This is a great cookie recipe as it holds its shape when you bake the cookies, keeping all the detail of your cookie cutters. The honey also makes them taste delicious.
Ingredients:
75g honey
150g soft light brown sugar
50g butter
300g plain flour
1 sachet (1 tsp) Dr.Oetker Baking Powder
1 medium egg, beaten
To Decorate:
Dr. Oetker Ready To Use Fairy Cake Icing
Dr. Oetker Chocolate Flavour Writing Icing /Dr. Oetker Writing Icing
Dr. Oetker Liquid Food Colours
Dr. Oetker Silver Balls, Mini Jazzies, Sugar Strands & Chocolate Stars
Method:
1. Melt the honey, butter and sugar gently until the sugar has dissolved. Allow to cool slightly.
2. Sift the flour into a bowl, add the beaten egg and the melted mixture to form a soft dough. Roll it out and cut out shapes with cutters.
3. Bake the biscuits on a lightly greased baking sheet for 10 – 12 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
4. Decorate your cookies with fairy cake icing and top with icing and decorations.
Cooks tip: Why not try making spiced gingerbread cookies add 1 level tsp ground ginger and 1 level tsp mixed spice to the mix with the flour. For a more adult biscuit use soft dark brown sugar and add ½ tsp of finely ground black pepper with the flour.
