This recipe strikes a perfect balance between the rich, buttery flavor of the biscuits and the refreshing tartness of the icing, making it a must-try for any baking enthusiast.

Ingredients:

1 cup butter
220g
2 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
250g
3/4 cup sugar
150g
1 egg
50g
1/2 cup powdered sugar
80g
2 tbsp lemon juice
10g

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prep:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Prepare the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add the egg to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until well combined.
- Gradually add the flour to the mixture, mixing on low speed until a dough forms. You may need to switch to mixing by hand towards the end to ensure everything is well combined.
3. Chill the Dough:
- Divide the dough into two equal portions.
- Wrap each portion in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This will make the dough easier to handle and cut into shapes.
4. Roll and Cut:
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion of the dough to about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) thickness.
- Use a gingerbread man or other cutter of your choice to cut out shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Gather any scraps of dough, roll them out again, and continue cutting shapes until all dough is used.
5. Bake:
- Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Prepare the Lemon Icing:
- In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar and lemon juice. Stir until smooth. The icing should be thick but spreadable. If it is too thick, add a tiny amount of water until the desired consistency is reached.
7. Decorate:
- Once the biscuits have fully cooled, use a small spoon or a piping bag to drizzle or spread the lemon icing over the biscuit men. Let the icing set at room temperature.
8. Serve and Enjoy:
- Allow the icing to harden completely before serving. Enjoy your delicious Biscuit Men with Lemon Icing with a cup of tea or coffee!

Tips:

- Ensure the butter is at room temperature before you start. This will make it easier to cream with the sugar.

- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This makes it easier to handle and helps the biscuits hold their shape.

- When mixing the icing, add the lemon juice gradually to achieve the desired consistency. You want it to be thick enough to stay on the biscuits but not too runny.

- Use a piping bag or a small plastic sandwich bag with a corner cut off to pipe the lemon icing onto the biscuits for more precise decoration.

- If you want more intense lemon flavor, you can add a bit of lemon zest to the icing.

- Store the biscuits in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crisp for a longer time.

Biscuit men with lemon icing are not only delicious but also lots of fun to make, especially with children who will love decorating their little biscuit men. The final result is a batch of beautifully iced biscuits that taste just as good as they look. Enjoy these treats with a cup of tea or coffee or share them with friends and family for a delightful experience.
