**Biscuit Nibbles**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Pinch of salt
– Optional: chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit for topping
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to the butter-sugar mixture and mix well.
4. Gradually add the flour to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. If the dough seems too dry, you can add a tablespoon of milk to help bring it together.
5. Roll the dough into small balls, about the size of a marble, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure to space them apart to allow for spreading while baking.
6. Using the back of a fork, gently press down on each ball to create a crisscross pattern on the surface. This not only adds a decorative touch but also helps the biscuits bake evenly.
7. If desired, you can top each biscuit nibble with a chocolate chip, chopped nuts, or dried fruit for added flavor and texture.
8. Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until they are lightly golden brown around the edges.
9. Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Your Biscuit Nibbles are now ready to be enjoyed! Serve them with a cup of tea or coffee for a delightful snack or pack them up in a cute tin for on-the-go treats.
These Biscuit Nibbles are not only delicious but also make a charming addition to any gathering or afternoon tea party.
