For King's Day we bake cookies with the mini monsters. We cut out letters and hearts and guess what colour they will be;)) The mini monsters love to stick out the shapes and with fondant icing they can do it! So no tinkering with piping royal icing today. The kids can make words with the biscuits or play and eat them afterwards of course!
How to make King's Day mini biscuits
Whisk butter and sugar creamy.
Loosen the egg.
Add egg and vanilla to the butter mixture.
Whisk until smooth.
Sieve flour, salt and baking powder.
Beat it gradually in to the butter mixture.
Knead the dough briefly by hand.
Wrap the dough in cling film and let it rest for at least 10 minutes, in the refrigerator
Roll the dough to 1cm thickness.
Cut out letters.
And also hearts.
Place on baking paper.
Preheat the oven to 170°C and dust a silicone mat already with icing sugar
Place the biscuits 20 minutes in the fridge.
Bake the biscuits in 10 - 12 minutes light brown.
Meanwhile cut out fondant icing letters.
Allow the biscuits to cool completely on the baking tray
In red, white, blue and orange.
Stick out hearts.
Stick the hearts on the biscuits.
Stick the letters on the biscuits.
Moisten the back of the fondant shapes with a drop of water, because of the icing sugar the fondant sticks to the biscuits
Make your own words and combinations.
Eat the King's Day biscuits with either tea or coffee.
We wish you a fun filled King's Day on the 27th!
