2tbspfreeze dried raspberries or strawberries - or if you want more sugar, chocolate chips
Instructions
Beat the softened butter with the sugar, either with a wooden spoon or in a mixer
Add the flour (and optional extras) and bring together into a dough (I find hands work well here if I'm not using my mixer)
On a clean, floured work surface roll the dough out to around 1cm thick (if it's hot you might need to chill the dough for a few minutes before doing this)
Cut out the shape of biscuit you require and place on a lined baking tray. Repeat until all the dough is used up
Place in the fridge to chill for around 20 minutes
Heat your oven to 190 degrees C/170 degrees C fan oven/ Gas Mark 5
Bake in the oven for 15 - 20 minutes until just cooked. Don't wait for them to turn brown because they will be overcooked
