Shaped Biscuit Recipe

This is the fabulous recipe I used when I made personalised Father’s Day biscuits for my Hubby.  This recipe works well for all types of shaped biscuits.  You could add spices such as vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger to change the flavour.  I think lemon rind and juice would also work.  I found this recipe at All Recipes.  They suggest adding things like hundreds and thousands, peanut butter, or almonds to change it up a bit.

The biscuits take about 10 minutes to prepare and 8 minutes to cook, so they’re super easy and pretty much ready in 20 minutes.
