Recently I bought some new Pudsey Bear goodies from Lakeland, in particular the new design for the Pudsey Bear Cookie Cutter. I like to get a few of these items because not only are they useful (apron, wooden spoon, cake papers etc.) but also money from the sale of these goods goes to the BBC Children In Need charity.
Today I thought I would have a go at making some biscuits with my new cookie cutter. I have been watching my weight of late and have not had any biccies for ages so it was a nice treat to see how they turned out. I must say at this point that I cannot take any credit for the recipe I used as it was printed on the back of the packet!
NB: (I would suggest if you are following the cookie cutter recipe that you chill the dough for half an hour in the fridge before rolling out, and allow for a 6mm thickness not 3mm, and finally bake for 25 minutes.
The recipe is a basic equal fat to flour mix with corn flour and sugar. Personally I think if I try it again I shall use less fat and add a little lemon oil to flavour the biscuits.
