Cheesy Hearts
Serves: 14 biscuits
Cheesy Heart biscuits, perfect for Valentine's Day.
Ingredients
- 100 g (3 ½ oz) cheddar cheese, grated
- 25 g (1 ½ tablespoon) unsalted butter, softened
- 50 g (⅓ cup) plain flour, (all-purpose flour)
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Put all of the ingredients into a food processor and blitz until everything comes together in a dough. The dough may look crumbly but just press everything together with your hands and shape it into a small ball.
- Wrap in clingfilm and leave it to rest in the fridge for 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/390°F (without fan).
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until it is roughly 3 mm thick.
- Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter (or other cookie cutter of your choice) and cut out your shapes. You can keep re-rolling the pastry and cutting out shapes until all of the pastry is used.
- Place the cut out shapes onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
- Bake for about 10 minutes until the biscuits are lightly golden. Keep an eye on the biscuits as they brown fairly quickly and can burn.
- Leave the biscuits to cool on a wire rack.
