No Spread Cookie Dough Basics 

Making perfect no-spread biscuits is possible even if you're unskilled in baking - all you need is some basic ingredients and a bit of practice. 

Equipment 

No matter if you're a beginner or an experienced baker, all you need is a bowl and an electric mixer to get started. Some ingredients like sugar, butter, or eggs are always necessary while others like flour can be replaced with substitutes. There's no need to overcomplicate things - just follow the recipe and have fun! 

Ingredients 

Flour, sugar, baking powder and salt (vanilla is nice to have) - that's all you need to make delicious treats! Although this recipe might seem simple at first glance, the ingredients hold a lot of hidden potential. For example, flour can be used to thicken or add flavour to your recipes. Sugar is essential for sweetness and moisture in doughs and batters. Baking powder helps with rising by creating air bubbles - crucial for cookies, cakes, and other pastries that rise during baking. Salt provides a distinctive taste profile that sets many dishes apart from one another. 

Instructions 

These biscuits are perfect for those days when you don't feel like spreading butter or icing on your cookies. They're simple to make and come together in just a few minutes with only a few ingredients. Bake them in the oven until they turn golden brown - 14-16 minutes should do the trick! Once they're done, enjoy your delicious cookies without any additional mess or fuss. Here are the steps you need to follow:

1. Start with room temperature butter and sugar. 
2. Add eggs and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar, mixing well. 
3. Add flour gradually to the mixing bowl, mixing well after each addition. 
4. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees centigrade). 
5. Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto a baking sheet, spacing cookies 2-inches apart. 6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until cookies are golden brown. 
6. Let cookies cool on baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. 
7. Enjoy your perfect no-spread cookies! 

Tip - How to Roll Out the Dough 

Making biscuits is a skill that takes time and practice to perfect. But don't worry, with these simple tips, you can make perfect biscuits even if you're unskilled in baking! First, roll out the dough until it's about 1/8 inch thick or in thickness. Keep the dough relaxed as you roll it out - this will help prevent it from becoming too tough to handle. Next, use a biscuit or cookie cutter to cut out biscuits (or shapes). Be sure to flour your hands and the board before rolling out the dough, as this will help prevent the biscuits from sticking. Place the biscuits on a baking tray carefully after cutting. Finally, cook the biscuits in a moderate oven until they are golden brown. Enjoy! 

Note, there’s different tools you can use, to ensure you get the same sized, uniform biccies! There are rubber guides you can add to your rolling pin, or rolling mats and guides specifically to do the job!

Tip - How to Bake the Biscuits 

Making no-spread biscuits is a skill that requires some patience and precision. But with a little bit of practice, it will be easy for you to achieve the desired results. Before baking, make sure to preheat your oven and work quickly so that your dough doesn't get too warm or sticky. The best way to avoid this is to use room temperature butter. Be sure to use a sturdy biscuit cutter, as over-cutting the dough will result in even more mess in your kitchen. Finally, don't forget to enjoy your freshly made biscuits - they will be a hit with everyone in your family!
