Ingredients:
- 125g butter 🧈
- 1/4 cup sugar 🥄
- 1 egg 🥚
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 1 cup self-raising flour 🌾
- Cherry halves, for topping 🍒
- Chopped nuts, for rolling 🌰
Instructions:
-
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and creamy. This step can be easily achieved by using an electric mixer or by hand with a sturdy whisk.
-
Add Egg and Essence: Once the butter and sugar are well combined, add the egg and vanilla essence. Beat the mixture well until everything is fully incorporated. The essence will add a delightful aroma to the cookies.
-
Mix in Flour: Gradually add the sifted self-raising flour to the wet ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough cookies. The dough should be soft and pliable.
-
Prepare Nuts: Place the chopped nuts in a shallow dish. These will add a delightful crunch to the cookies and complement the sweetness of the cherries.
-
Shape Cookies: Using a rounded teaspoon, scoop out portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Then, roll each ball in the chopped nuts until they are evenly coated. This will give the cookies a delicious nutty exterior.
-
Top with Cherries: Press half a cherry onto the top of each cookie ball. The cherry adds a burst of flavor and a vibrant touch to the cookies.
-
Bake: Place the prepared cookies on a lightly greased oven tray, making sure to leave some space between each cookie for spreading. Bake in a preheated moderate oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown and cooked through.
-
Cool: Once baked, allow the cookies to cool slightly on the tray before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help them firm up and develop the perfect texture.
-
Serve: Once cooled, arrange the cookies on a serving platter and serve them to your eager guests. These biscuits are best enjoyed with a cup of tea or coffee, or simply on their own as a delightful snack.
These Fouzia’s Cherry-Nut Biscuits are sure to become a favorite in your household. Enjoy the delicious combination of sweet cherries, crunchy nuts, and buttery goodness in every bite!
