These are easy to make and so nice and snappy to the bite. The dough can be frozen so you can have biscuits ready to cook at any time. If you need to bake them super fast, just pop the dough in the microwave on the defrost setting and check it every minute or so.

You could also drizzle melted chocolate over the baked biscuits to make them look even more special. These are the perfect little cookies/biscuits for doing icing decoration on. Remove the biscuits carefully from the baking tray and allow them to cool on a wire cooling rack as they have a tendency to carry over cooking and could turn too brown once removed from the oven.

When cooled, dust them with some icing sugar or decorate as desired.
