Biscuits - lemon and coco

I was looking for good recipe for biscuits for a while. These are easy to do and won’t take long.
 

 

Ingredients

·         325g plain flour

·         200g chilled salted butter

·         125g/4½oz golden caster sugar

·         2 tea spoon of  good-quality vanilla extract

·         2 large free range egg yolks

·         Lemon zest

·         Coco powder 1 table spoon

All ingredients are mixed in large bowl. Then half the mix and lemon zest into one and coco powder to the other. Once the mixtures are even color place those into food bags and alow chilling for at least two hours.

 

 

Rolling and cutting will be easier if additional flour used . The thickness of rolled out mixture should be 5 to 8 mm. Use cutters and place biscuits on greaseproof paper. They won’t grow but they shouldn’t touch as they go to oven.

If doing animals like I did use coco mix on lemon one and create spots etc.

Oven should be preheated for at least 20 min at gas mark 4. Smaller biscuits will not take long to cook so watch out with your first batch. I left mine in oven for 12/15 min.
