Christmas Biscuits

cdsmiler

Hello all,

I'm looking for a tasty Christmas biscuit recipe and I'm hoping you can all help me!

I need it to be simple, the type you can roll out and use cutters with, but actually taste nice too! lol I bake loads of cakes, but not many biscuits so would love a tried and tested recipe. Nothing with those lovely Christmas spices (nutmeg, cinnamon, clove etcd) as hubby doesn't like them (weirdo!). Orange might be nice.... But just something I can make with my DD, but that people would like to eat afterwards! lol

Thanks in advance,

Sorry, I have no advice but an orangey xmas biscuit sounds lovely so I'll be watching out for peoples replies and making them too

These are nice and would be christmasy if you used bell/tree/star cutters...you can use whatever type of jam you like for the filling.

Only thing I would add to the recipe is that they're easier to roll/cut if you refrigerate the dough for a while before rolling it.

Oooo thank you. Good start! Are they nice enough without the jam? Just thinking that there might be icing flying about for decorating, and being hole-less and jam-less might be easier!

I don't think I'd have them without anything on because they're a bit plain, but with some icing decoration they'd probably be nice. Also, you could add a bit of flavour to the dough by adding some grated lemon or orange zest.
