Tips & Qs

Chill dough before baking. Chilling biscuit dough before baking helps to avoid the cookies from spreading. Giving your biscuit dough 30 minutes in the freezer helps by solidifying the fat in the butter, which equals less spread. You can keep the dough in the fridge for up to a week before baking. 

Don’t squish dough down too much when making the thumbprints. I find it easier to avoid squishing/flattening the dough balls by using the end of a teaspoon to form a dent. 
After rolling the dough into balls, gently dent the top of the dough ball with the spoon. The biscuits will spread as they cook- the less you flatten the dough before baking, the less the biscuits will spread in the end.

How to store

Let the biscuits cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. These biscuits can be kept for up to a week. 

Can you freeze the dough? 

Yes! You can freeze the uncooked dough for up to 3 months. The easiest way to go about this is to roll and add toppings to the biscuits as the recipe calls for and then add the uncooked biscuits to a container or zip lock bag. This way you can simply grab them straight from the freezer and throw them in the oven when you want them. No need to thaw before baking! Add an extra 2 minutes to the overall baking time. 

The rundown

  • Beat butter and sugar together until creamy
  • Add egg and beat until smooth
  • Mix flour into mixture until a smooth dough is formed

  • Roll dough into balls and add to a lined baking tray, use finger or handle-end of spoon to create dents in the middle of balls
  • Add a 2-3 white chocolate melts into each dent along with a spoonful of cherries
  • Bake at 180c/355f for 10 minutes or until biscuits are very slightly browned
