Melt in the mouth and incredibly tasty, these treats are a must try for anyone who LOVES a good biscuit. I hope you love them as much as we do! x


Ingredients

100g coconut oil

80g trex shortening

200g caster sugar

300g plain flour

2 tsp rose water

40g dark flaked chocolate (I used a bar and sliced into it to create chards/flakes)

Dipped topping (2 flavours)

Sweet rose; 100g icing sugar, 1/2 teaspoon beetroot powder, 2 tbsp rose water.

Chocolate & cardamon; 80g dark chocolate, 4 cardamon seeds crushed to a powder, 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil

OPTIONAL - EDIBLE ROSE PETALS AND CHOCCOLATE CHIPS TO SPRINKLE


Method

  • Mix the coconut oil, trex and sugar together until smooth

  • Add the flour and combine until a ball is formed

  • Add the rose water and the flaked chocolate and mix using your hands until combined into a large smooth log shape (wide enough for the width of biscuits you’d like)

  • Chill for 20 minutes in the fridge

  • After chilling in the fridge slice the log shaped dough (as you would a loaf of bread)

  • Place the biscuit rounds on a lined baking tin and bake for 8-10 minutes in a pre-heated oven 180C

  • Allow the biscuits to cool whilst you prepare the toppings

  • Simply mix together the ingredients for the toppings in two seperate small bowls

  • Dip half of the biscuits in the rose topping (half coating only) and sprinkle with chocolate chips

  • Dip the other half of the biscuits (half coating only) in the chocolate and cardamon topping and sprinkle with edible rose petals


If you do make this then I hope you love it
