Biscuits that you roll and refrigerate, then cut and bake

westcoastscot

Apologies for the long winded title!

Does anyone have recipes for biscuits that you make up the dough, roll and keep in the fridge, then slice and bake when you want them???

I'm looking for something to pre-prepare and bake each evening on work-nights.

We can't have dairy/eggs so don't have bought biscuits etc - but I can usually adapt a recipe once I get the picture

Thanks, WCS

These work well. My favourite recipe is one that I took from a book long ago and can't remember where so can't post as I won't be able to give the original source.

I didn't think twinks were sliceable.

Thanks HJ, Queenies recipe is perfect! Think i'll try some with cherries and almond essence, and some plain ones too.

Didn't think you could slice twinks either - when I make them they're really soft and run together when I'm baking them :-)

I use the recipe from the Takeaway Secret Book,

Chocolate chip cookies

This is a dough that you form into a roll then slice then bake.

It can be frozen also, and makes great cookies

Recipe is 4 oz butter
3 1/2 oz caster sugar
3 1/2 light brown sugar
1 egg
1 Ts vanilla extrac
8oz SR flour
1/2 TS salt
3 1/2 oz chocolat chips

I have looked at that recipe, but can anyone tell me what "sf flour" is please?

I thought it meant self raising and was a spelling mistake, but surely plain flour in biscuits?


Thanks.

I like these ones though I must admit I usually only make them at Christmas for the boys to give to teachers as gifts. Dunno where I got the recipe from as I've had it for years...

Chocolate and Vanilla Cookies

You need 2 large bowls, foil, baking sheets, a knife (sharp for preference, but blunt works), and cooling rack.

Vanilla mix

8 oz soft butter or margarine
12 oz plain white flour
6 oz caster sugar
1 teaspoon of baking powder
½ teaspoon of vanilla extract

Chocolate mix


8 ounces of soft butter or margarine
10 ounces of plain white flour
2 ounces of cocoa
6 ounces of caster sugar
1 teaspoon of baking powder

To make each flavour, soften the butter and add the other ingredients. Knead lightly till all mixed together.

Lay out a piece of foil on the worktop and take a quarter of each mix and form into a roll. Squadge a roll of each flavour together to make a roll with the 2 colours and flavours showing. Wrap in the foil. Repeat until you have 4 rolls and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour.

Pre heat the oven to 190° Celsius, or Gas Mark 5, or 375° Fahrenheit. Unroll 1 foil pack at a time and slice thinly (about 3 to 5 mm thick) and put on baking sheet. Allow space between cookies as they spread while cooking. Bake for about 15 minutes* till slightly coloured and set.

Leave on the baking sheet on the cooling rack for 5 minutes. Slide onto the cooling rack and leave till cool.

*12 minutes in my fan assisted oven at 170° Celsius.[FONT=&quot][/FONT]

I also like them with choc & orange, there's no reason you couldn't use peppermint if you like it (I don't ) and you could use carob if you avoid cocoa. I've never used butter, but I do try to get dairy free baking marge rather than soft vegan marge as they can spread. Chilled well they don't cool so much.
