Decades ago I pulled a page out of a food magazine that had a basic biscuits dough recipe and then loads of ways to make different biscuits recipes. I love this basic dough mixture to make these RND biscuits. Making a thumbprint in the middle, filling it with jam makes a great red nose and a little ready rolled icing made into eyes and mouth finishes it off!

Steps

1

Mix 250 g softened butter and 140 g caster sugar in a large bowl with a wooden spoon until fully combined. (Or use a mixer!)
2

Add 1 egg yolk and 2 tsp vanilla extract and briefly beat to combine and make fluffy.
3

Sift over 300g plain flour and stir until the mixture is well combined – you might need to get your hands in at the end to give everything a really good mix and press the dough together.
4

Roll the dough into golf ball size and place on a tray lined with parchment. Give each ball a slight press down and then make an imprint with your thumb or use a small bottle (like vanilla extract). Leave a little space between each biscuits as they will spread.
5

Add a ½ a tsp of your favourite jam in the indentation. Chill the tray for 10-30 minutes before cooking so they hold their shape.
6

Cook in the oven for 12-15 minutes at 180 degreesC/Fan 160/Gas 4 until lightly brown.
7

Leave to cool on the tray for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to chill and set. If they have spread and stuck together, just 'cut' between each biscuit to separate whilst they are warm out the oven and they will be fine.
