These biscuits are part of a selection I bake for the salon. A delicately sweet and zesty partner to afternoon coffee.
Ingredients:
400g plain flour
170g golden caster sugar
160g butter (unsalted, room temp)
150g white chocolate chips (shopped)
2 eggs
Zest of 2 lemons
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
Method:
Preheat oven to 160c (fan), prepare 2 baking trays with parchment paper.
In a large bowl beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, add the eggs one at a time beating in between each, then mix in the lemon zest. Add in the flour, baking powder, bicarb of soda and chopped white chocolate, mixing until everything is incorporated.
Using a piping bag and large round nozzle, pipe out desired sized biscuits on the prepared baking tray leaving a little space between each as they will rise and spread slightly.
Bake for appx 8-10 mins. They are ready once lightly golden on top and slightly firm to touch, (they will harden a little as they cool). Leave to cool on a wire rack.
Enjoy.

Here's a bit of fun for Christmas which the kids will love having a go with. You'll need the cookie cutters, but they come in all shapes, sizes and designs nowadays.
