Remove from bowl and shape into a ball. The dough can be frozen at this stage if desired – wrap in cling film (saran wrap) and seal in a freezer bag for up to 3 months.

Roll out on a floured surface to approximately 4mm thick. Rolling half the dough at a time will make it more manageable.

Cut out hearts or desired shapes and place on a baking tray lined with baking parchment 3cm apart, as they will grow during baking.

Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
Then, using a straw, make holes in the tops of the biscuits, cutting the straw after making each hole and discarding the pieces. Allow to cool completely.

Tip: For alternate flavours try substituting the vanilla for a teaspoon of ground cinnamon, ginger, or almond essence.
