Method

  1. Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Make up the Basic biscuit dough, sifting in the cinnamon when you add the flour. Shape into 2 balls, wrap in cling film and chill for 20-30 mins.
  2. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface, then stamp out 28 biscuits with a 7-8cm wide cutter. Lay these on non-stick baking sheets. Using a 4cm cutter, cut out the 'noses' from half the biscuits. Bake for 10-12 mins until pale golden, then lift onto a cooling rack.
  3. Mix the raspberry jam with the sifted icing sugar. When the biscuits are cool, spoon a little of the jam onto each whole biscuit, then carefully sandwich the other biscuits on top. Serve as they are, or pipe icing, made with a little water, to draw funny faces.

    Fantastic! Made it for Comic relief bake sale at work. The actual cookie dough was a bit too soft to work with and I struggled it with but otherwise the end result after adding more flour was lovely.

    It worked... but the dough was very hard to handle.. super buttery biscuits which made the dough very sticky even after 1 hour of refrigeration!

    We love these biscuits! My kids ask for them again and again! The mixture softens very quickly even after being refrigerated for over an hour so I use plenty of flour on the worktop and rolling pin to stop the mixture sticking.

    The hint of cinnamon makes these delicious - everyone loved these biscuits. I'd err on the side of rolling them out a bit thinner, or they can be a bit too biscuity otherwise!

    Hi I made these style of biscuits for my Grandchildren coming last Sunday. I used my own tried & tested Empire biscuit recipe to make the biscuits & just used the picture to fashion the end result. I think it's important to stress , when working with biscuit dough, handle as short a time as possible, flour surface & rolling pin & use temperature according to your knowledge of your own oven. My biscuit recipe is 8ozs block butter, 10ozs plain flour, 2ozs cornflour, 2ozs caster sugar & 2ozs icing sugar. Cream sugars & butter until pale & fluffy, add sifted flours gradually. Roll out on a floured board or work surface. Cut biscuits to desired size & place on lightly oiled trays. Bake at 160C fan oven for 15 mins or until golden. Allow to cool slightly then place on cooling rack. Always turn out crisp & buttery! Simple!

    Great Biscuits, made them with my 7 and 4 year old for a cake sale at school for Red Nose Day. Not all of them made it to school, the girls thought they were lovely. Really need to chill the dough before rolling out. Watch closely when cooking, they burn very quickly.
