"I Love You" Shortbread Biscuits

Say "I love you" to your loved one this Valentine's Day! These simply made Shortbread Biscuits will melt any heart!

Ingredients

120g Butter

60g Caster Sugar

1/2 tsp. Vanilla Extract

180g Plain Flour, plus extra for rolling out the dough

Icing, Pink sugar sand, etc. To decorate should you wish!

Method

Preheat the oven to 160C/325F/Gas Mark 3. Mix together your butter and sugar until smooth, and then add your vanilla extract.
Sift in the plain flour and gently mix into the other ingredients. Try not to work the mix too much as this will affect the texture of the biscuits you make! Work the dough into a ball using your hands. Place in the fridge for 10 minutes to cool.
Gently roll out the dough on a floured surface, to a thickness of around 5cm. Cut out your shortbread using a cutter and place on a baking tray on top of baking paper. Place back in the fridge for a further 10 minutes.
Sprinkle the biscuits with sugar, and place in the oven to cook for 15 minutes, or until pale golden brown.
Leave to cool on a baking tray, and decorate as required.
