Sugar and spice and everything nice is all mixed into these scrummy Easter treats. Crisp, melt-in-the-mouth texture is combined with a hint of lemon and mixed spice to bring a light, zingy flavour to these bakes. The great thing about these lemon and spice biscuits is that they’re super easy to make, with just seven ingredients and 15 minutes of bake time required.
What’s more, they can be tailored to suit any occasion by simply mixing up the cookie cutters. We love cutting stars, hearts and eggs out of fondant icing to decorate these Easter treats.
