Sweetheart Lemon & Rose Biscuits

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, cream the vegan margarine and sugar together. Add the lemon zest, sift in the flour and combine to form a dough.

Bring the dough together into a ball, wrap the bowl in clingfilm and place in the fridge for half an hour. Pre heat the oven to 160C or 140C for fan assisted ovens.

Sprinkle a clean work surface with flour, roll out the dough until around 4mm thick, cut out heart shapes using a cookie cutter, place on a baking tray lined with baking paper and place in the oven for 12 to 14 minutes or until golden brown.

Leave the biscuits to cool on a cooling rack. Stir the icing sugar, rosewater, water and pink colouring together. Use to ice the biscuits (see picture). Create a small batch of icing but this time use yellow colouring and splash over the biscuits (see picture).
