I apoligise now as I wont be posting the quantities for this recipe as it is not my recipe (if you know who it belongs to please let me know so that I can do a link to them and a Thank you for sharing this recipe), I would post a link to where I got this from but I can not remember and I can not make out where it is from on my notes other than you tube, I am willing however to email the recipe to you if you so wish. either leave me a comment on here on message me on face book or twitter.
You get approx 23 cookies out of this.
I made these for my daughters foundation teachers. I knew that some of the mums would be making some cakes for them so I thought I would do something different and going through one of my many note books I found this and thought they would be ideal.
What I used:
Marzipan
butter
icing sugar
egg
vanilla extract
plain flour
red gel food colouring
whole cloves
Decoration
green coloured food gel
royal Icings Sugar
What I did:
in a microwave proof bowl soften your marizpan.
This tock about 20 seconds.
In a large bowl put your soften marizpan and butter and beat with a wooden spoon until well combined.
Add your icing sugar and beat until fluffy.
I then beat in the egg and vanilla extract and red food colouring (you want it to be very bright at this stage)
Mix in the flour until you have a nice soft dough.
Line your baking trays with grease proof.
Using a tsp scoop out your dough and form onto balls. (I made the dough balls out of 1 1/2 tsp)
place these onto the baking trays and carefully using your finger make a slight dent in the top and place a clove in this. (this will be the apples stem)
Place in the fridge for about 2 hours.
Preheat your oven 180o'C and bake on the middle shelf for 10 to 15 minutes.
Leave to cool on the baking tray for 10 to 15 minutes
then transfer to cool completely on a wire rack.
Decorations
As I would only need a small amount of royal icing sugar I cheated I used Silver spoon Royal icing sugar then added some water until I got the desired consistency. This needed to be thick and not merge.
I coloured some royal icing green and then used a leaf tip to pipe on some leaves.
and piped leaves onto the cooled apple biscuits
Happy Baking
