Apricot Heart Biscuits!

Apricot Heart Biscuits!

 

 

Hello!

 

Today I am going to be sharing a recipe! This recipe is for apricot heart biscuits! These biscuits are really quick and easy to make plus they taste good! These biscuits can be adapted if you don't like the flavour of jam, you can change the shape etc.

 

Makes- Around 10 depending on size

Prep time- 10 minutes

Cooking time- Around 15 minutes depending on size.

 

You will need:

• 250g butter, softened
• 140g caster sugar
• 1 egg yolk
• 2tsp vanilla extract
• 300g plain flour
• 1 pinch of salt

 

STEP 1- Pre-heat the oven to 175 degrees.

STEP 2- Mix the butter with the caster sugar in a large bowl with a wooden spoon.

STEP 3- Add the egg yolk and the vanilla.









STEP 4- Add in all the flour and mix. You may need to use your hands at this point to give everything a good mix.                 
    







STEP 5- Tip the mixture onto a clean lightly floured surface. Squeeze it into a ball and roll out. Make sure not to roll it too thin and that you lightly flour the rolling pin. Use a heart cutter to cut out the shapes. Put the shapes onto a tray that has been lined with greaseproof paper. On half of the hearts make an extra hole in the middle using whatever you like, cutters etc. Bake in the preheated oven for around 15 minutes or until golden on top. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Then move them on to a wire cooling rack.

STEP 6- Once cooled try and find the closet other fitting heart. Put jam in the middle and put the heart with the hole on top. Repeat this until all done. Sprinkle with a little bit of icing sugar if desired.
Enjoy!!
