These are really easy and it's a very forgiving dough to work with so great for kids. You could use a few drops of vanilla essence instead of the lemon.


Jif lemon cookies
(from the jif lemon cookbook)

4 oz 100g) butter or margarine
3 oz (75g) caster sugar
1 egg
1 tsp lemon juice (could substitute with vanilla essence but less needed)
8 oz plain flour

Cream the butter/margarine and sugar. Beat in the egg with the lemon juice. Fold in the flour and form into a soft dough. Roll out the dough on a floured board and cut into biscuit shapes. bake for 10 - 15 mins at 375F/190C/Gas mark 5. Leave until cold and then ice and decorate.

I have just made up a double batch and got loads of Christmas cookie shapes from it! Just have to go ice them now.

HI guys, have got a couple of queries. i have managed to get my weekly shop for 3 of us down to £25-£30 a week which is good i know. but i still feel that I am spending too much on biscuits and crisps. so has anyone got any quick and easy recipes for biccies??? any alternatives to crisps guys have tried cheap versions, daughter doesnt like them. i know you will probably all yell fruit ! fruit! lol. but she only likes grapes (my 12 yr old). any advice??? also what is best to use to get a choccie stain out of a top. i have tried vanish no good, and my daughters top is only like 2 months old. any advice gratefully received!! thanks guys:D

Do you have Home Bargains near you? They have brand name crisps very cheap - McCoys 9 for 99p, Walkers Tomato 10p, etc.

I definitely agree with Twink's Hob Nobs or how about some shortbread
