They are what it says on the tin...For my sweet heart Sweet Heart Biscuits.
Take 100g Pure Sunflower Margarine, or softened butter, add 75g golden caster sugar, the zest of a small lemon and beat together till light and fluffy
sift over 125g plain flour, add 50g ground almonds, 1tsp ground cardamon, and a few drops of panettone essence, if you have some. You could vary the spices to your favourite.
Mix together till you get a smooth dough, then roll into 20 to 24 balls. I weigh mine about 20g each.
Place them well apart on two large baking sheets lined with baking parchment. I flattened mine with the bottom of a glass, and then stamped them with a cutter, almost to the tin.
Bake in a preheated oven Gas Mark 4, check after 10 minutes and change the trays around if you don't have a fan oven. Bake until they just start to turn golden, turn off the oven. Leave them in the oven for another 10 minutes, and continue the cooling on a cake rack. When cool dredge with icing sugar.
mmmm ....your kitchen must smell heavenly !
