Delightful two-tone cookies make perfect homemade gifts.
Ingredients:
  • 200g butter
  • 107.50 gm caster sugar
  • 4.40 gm vanilla essence
  • 500.00 ml plain flour
  • Red and blue food colouring
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 180C (160C fan-forced). Lightly oil 2 oven trays and line them with non-stick baking paper. In a bowl, use electric beaters to beat the butter, sugar, and vanilla until light and creamy.
  • Divide the mixture in half and transfer one portion to another bowl. Stir in 7 drops of red food coloring until well incorporated in one bowl. In the other bowl, using clean beaters, beat in 7 drops of blue food coloring. Sift 1 cup of flour into each bowl and mix with a non-serrated knife until moist clumps form. Shape each colored dough into a ball on separate sheets of non-stick baking paper.
  • Roll out the dough to a uniform 5mm thickness. If it's warm, refrigerate the rolled dough for 15 minutes before cutting. Use a 7cm-long oval-shaped cutter to cut out biscuits from both doughs and place them on oven trays.
  • Cut out shapes from the center of each biscuit using a 3cm cutter. Swap the smaller shapes to create two-tone biscuits. Bake for 12 minutes until lightly golden on the underside. Let them sit on the trays for 5 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool.
