I first made these biscuits when I was trying to find something cinnamon to go in one of my foodie penpals parcels. They are totally coated in cinnamon sugar yet it isn’t too overpowering – they are very moreish!
Ingredients (makes approx. 30)
Biscuits
- 200 g butter
- 200 g caster sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla (optional)
- 1 egg
- 425 g plain flour
Cinnamon sugar
(You will find that this makes more than you need but you can save it for future. You can also add more/less sugar/cinnamon to your taste)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup ground cinnamon
Method
- Preheat oven to gas mark 6/200C/400F.
- Cream together the butter & sugar (I did it by hand).
- Add the egg and beat well until combined. If you are using vanilla add this also. I find that these biscuits taste lovely without though.
- Add the flour and work to a dough.
- For the cinnamon sugar – mix the sugar & cinnamon until well combined.
- Line a baking tray with baking paper and from the ball of dough, taking a palm sized piece at a time, roll into a ball and then roll in the cinnamon sugar.
- Place each ball onto the tray and pat down slightly (they don’t need to be too far apart as this dough doesn’t really spread).
- Stamp each biscuit pressing until flat (you may find you need to press a little hard to get the full imprint).
- Bake for 8 minutes, until lightly brown around the edges.
- Leave to cool for 5 minutes then remove onto a cooling rack.
- Enjoy!
This is my entry to week 2 of the #GreatBloggersBakeOff2014, theme of biscuits – linking up with Mummy Mishaps.
I have seen these stamps and wondered if they were worth buying and I think yes after seeing your cute biscuits. i love the sound of your biscuits coated in cinnamon sugar, thank you for linking up x
What fab cookie stamps, they look lovely x #greatbloggersbakeoff2014
love the stamps! great idea x
love these cookies, as I love cinnamon – we have the Home Made stamp but I love that yours are interchangeable
I love cinnamon sugar (thanks for the push to make some!) and your cookies look amazing using the stamps x
Brilliant stamps! I haven't seen them, but will keep an eye on them now. You can't beat homebaked cookies.
These look fab and I love how the cinnamon sugar helps bring out the writing. Thanks so much for linking up with #recipeoftheweek. Sorry I was slow getting over for this one. I've pinned it to my food board and a tweet will go out shortly 🙂
I love the biscuit stamps and now I want some! I have never seen anything like that over here in France though. Cinnamon biscuits sound good too – like home-made speculos biscuits that you often get with your cup of coffee in cafés. They also remind me of cinnamon toast that I used to eat when I was a student.
Gorgeous and so original, I've never seen them before! Love this post! Thanks for linking up to #tastytuesdays. Hope to see you tomorrow!
