Berry bikkies

Berry bikkies are a delightful treat that combines the sweetness of strawberries with the light texture of a biscuit. Perfect for afternoon tea or as a dessert, these bikkies are sure to impress your family and friends.

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter.
2. Prepare Strawberries: Wash the strawberries thoroughly, remove the stems, and cut them into small pieces. Set the strawberries aside.
3. Mix Sugar and Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar and eggs. Beat them together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture becomes thick, pale, and creamy.
4. Add Flour: Gradually sift the all-purpose flour into the egg mixture. Gently fold the flour into the mixture using a spatula or wooden spoon until well combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Melt Butter: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave. Allow it to cool slightly, then gently fold it into the batter.
6. Combine Strawberries: Gently fold the chopped strawberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
7. Portion Dough: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the bikkies are lightly golden around the edges, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Cool Cookies: Remove from the oven and allow the bikkies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Prepare Cream: While the bikkies are cooling, whip the heavy whipping cream in a separate bowl until it forms soft peaks.
11. Serve: Once the bikkies are completely cool, serve them with a dollop of whipped cream and a few additional freshly sliced strawberries if desired.
