Malt Spoon Biscuits

These Malt Spoon Biscuits make such a cute little biscuit to pop next to your guest’s coffee. They’re simple to make, look great, taste delicious and are perfect for dunking! Coat the spoon end with chocolate to make a hot chocolate an even bigger treat. And to make these a wonder for kid’s birthday parties, coat the spoon with white chocolate and add sprinkles xx

Ingredients (makes 50 spoons)

200g Unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup Caster sugar
1 Egg yolk
2 1/4 cups Plain flour
1/2 cup Malt powder, sifted
1 TBS Milk
Raw sugar

Method

Pre heat the oven to 180 degrees, and line a couple of baking trays
In a large bowl, beat the sugar and butter together until light and creamy. Add in the egg yolk and beat to combine
Roll the dough out on a lightly floured board (also flour your rolling pin) until about a ¼ inch thick. Cut out the desired shapes by using a teaspoon laying flat on the dough and tracing around with a sharp knife. Make sure to go around it a few mm past the edge of the spoon the whole way around
Carefully place on the baking trays and lightly sprinkle each one with some raw sugar. Place into the oven for around 8 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on the trays

Notes

This dough freezes really well, so if you wanted to make a batch and then halve it, you will have another ready to go in the freezer for next time! . Just make sure to wrap dough tightly in cling wrap and place into a zip lock bag before freezing. When you are ready to use it, just remove from the freezer 3 hours before you need it to allow it to thaw. Store the cooked biscuits in an air tight container for up to a week

This is a really fantastic cookie idea to serve with a cup of coffee. Very creative and how fun to get one of these when someone makes you a cuppa. The recipe looks simple and easy to make but I think I would need a mould to make the spoon shape cookie.
