I'm sure everyone is aware of and joining in with the Thursday clap for NHS. Alot of people are posting rainbows in their windows and in our area lots of houses have tributes outside. I wanted to say thank you and make a tribute as well so I made these vegan NHS/Key worker sugar biscuits.
These are great if you want to make a thank you for any NHS or key workers that you know! They taste amazing and they are so cute!
Why not let your kids decorate them and leave them out for the postman or drop them off in your corner shop as you past on your hours walk.
These are a great way of both entertaining your children and saying thank you to all the key workers and NHS workers!
These sugar biscuits are super easy to make and fun! You and your children are sure to love it!
Most vegan biscuit recipes require you to put the dough in the fridge before you roll it out, this is because the dough is too soft to roll out.
This dough does not need you to put it in the fridge, however, if your dough is too soft don't be afraid to put it in the fridge for a little while.
To make the icing you just sift the icing sugar into a mixing bowl. Then slowly add the little water and mix it until it reaches the consistancy you would like. Remember you want the icing to be quite thick so it wont run off the edge. Some of mine still ran a little off the edge, don't worry if this happens.
When you add the food colouring the icing will get even runnier.
If you put a base layer of icing on, to cover the biscuits, you will need to let the icing dry before adding any writing or extra pictures.
We hope you love this idea and feel inspired to create some yummy treats for all the key workers and NHS workers!
