Lemon & strawberry dimples

I got back home an started preparing my dinner, when all of a sudden I noticed that over a half of biscuits that I've prepared the day before were gone! Like, really gone! HALF of them! What on earth?! Just a few moments ago the plate was full of them!... Hmmm. I looked around. Nobody else but me in the flat. All alone. And that means one. single. thing. It was me. It's all my doing. I made half of the delicious, crunchy, scrumptious, omg-sooo-goood biscuits gone. Before dinner! That's unthinkable! Ohhh, but they were sooooo gooood..........

Recipe taken from here.

Makes about 45 biscuits. Preparation: 42 min. + 1 h (chilling in the fridge). Baking: 2 x 15 min.

Equipment:

- bowl,

- zest grater,

- hand mixer (or standing mixer),

- 2 biscuit trays,

- 2 sheet baking paper,

- cling film,

- thimble or bottle cap (about 1,5-2 cm in diameter)

Ingredients:

- 170g soft butter,

- 2 cups all-purpose flour,

- 1/4 cup granulated sugar,

- 1/2 cup powdered sugar,

- 1 egg,

- zest of 1 lemon,

- 1 tbsp lemon juice,

- 1 tbsp vanilla extract,

- 1 tbsp baking powder,

- jam (I used strawberry) and/or lemon curd

Method:

1) In the bowl put the butter and sugars, and mix (2 min.) until light and fluffy.

2) Add the egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest and juice, and mix well.

3) With the mixer on low speed, carefully add the baking powder and the flour, mixing until incorporated.

4) Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in cling film and put into the fridge for 1 hour.

5) After that, preheat your oven to 350F/180C.

6) Line the trays with baking paper.

7) Form small balls of dough, about 3 cm in diameter, place them on the trays and flatten them a bit. Keep them 2 inches/5 cm apart form one another.

8) With the thimble or bottle cap make a deep indentation in evey biscuit and, using a teaspoon, fill it with jam or lemon curd.

9) Bake for 15 min., until the edges become golden brown (in the meantime prepare the rest of the dimples on the other tray).

10) Let them cool first a few of minutes on the tray and then transfer on a wire rack to cool completely.

Make sure you keep them in an airtight container. Seal them or sth. Put them on the highest shelf in the house. And I mean the highest.

Wait. That won't work at all. Vacuum-cleaner mode on.
