Biscuit bows are a delightful treat that combines the simplicity of everyday ingredients with a touch of elegance. These cookies are perfect for special occasions or simply for enjoying with a cup of tea. With a hint of lemon zest and vanilla, they offer a delicate flavor that is both refreshing and comforting.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Ensure that the butter is at room temperature to make it easier to blend.
- If you haven’t done so already, zest the lemon to gather 2 tablespoons of lemon zest.
- Separate one egg to get the yolk.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the butter and vanilla extract. Cream them together using a hand mixer or a wooden spoon until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- Add the egg yolk to the butter mixture and blend well until it is fully incorporated.
- Stir in the lemon zest to the wet mixture to evenly distribute its flavor.
- Gradually add the flour into the butter mixture. Mix well until a soft dough forms. You may want to use your hands towards the end to bring the dough together.
- Take small portions of the dough, about a tablespoon each. Roll them into small logs, then tie them into bow shapes. Place each bow on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small space between each biscuit to allow for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the edges of the biscuit bows are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake, as they can burn quickly.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the biscuit bows to cool on the sheet for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once fully cooled, your biscuit bows are ready to be enjoyed. They can be served as is or dusted with a bit of powdered sugar for added elegance.
Tips:
- Make sure to soften the butter at room temperature to achieve a smooth dough.
- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before shaping the bows; this makes it easier to handle.
- Use a piping bag or a cookie press to create uniform bow shapes.
- Baking times can vary, so keep a close eye on the cookies to avoid over-browning.
- For extra flavor, you can sprinkle a little bit of fine sugar on top of the bows before baking.
Biscuit bows are not only a pleasure to the palate but also a treat for the eyes. Their charming shape and delightful flavor make them a perfect addition to any occasion. Enjoy these cookies fresh out of the oven or store them for a sweet snack later. Happy baking!
