I hope this isn't in the wrong place - I could not see a separate biscuit baking section - I need some suggestions please for the best cookie/biscuit dough for shaped biscuits - I have a special new set of spring loaded themed cookie cutters and I need to give them a try.
So a dough that will hold the shape after it is cut and indents are pressed in is what I need. Help please? :-\
Flavour - not averse to gingerbread/shortbread - I thought at first nut flavours wouldn't work but I guess if they were ground in the TM it would be fine. Choc chip won't work but chocolate flavoured might. Open to ideas and I will post a picture of the results
Thanks in advance

Despite my best intentions, I haven't made any of these yet, but you could try Scottish Shortbread (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=7076.0;topicseen#top) or Christmassy St Nicholas Speculaas (I don't have a link, but the recipe is in Devil of a Cookbook, or I could PM you the recipe) or pfeffernusse (http://splendiferousthermomix.blogspot.co.uk/2011/11/pfeffernusse.html) - another Christmassy recipe.

Most biscuit recipes are in the cake section. Have a look through there and glance at the reviews. I'm sure you will find something suitable.

tried two doughs today - the shortbread is definitely too buttery to work - I am sure they will be delicious though.
The second one is this one - my own doh!) and that is definitely the type of dough so I might try to tweak it into a chocolate flavoured biscuit with the same proportions of egg/flour/butter http://cafedisarray.blogspot.com.au/2013/12/thermomix-gingerbread.html
In the meantime isn't this just the crankiest little biscuit you have ever seen?
-
It's fantastic. How did you do it? Did you use your cutters?
-
Kids would love that, especially boys.
-
Yes my cutters were so much fun I blogged them.
K9 was a bit disappointing his tail broke off all but one but the others are great
Check them out at Cafe Disarray
Looking forward to making another flavour

love the cranky face

I love your biscuit cutters. I think I'm going to search online for them as we are big Dr Who fans The recipe I use for cut out biscuits is Lady Flo's basic biscuits. http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=9286.0 (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=9286.0)It is my go/to recipe, and works well as an iced biscuit too. Here are some peppa pig biscuits I made for our fete using this recipe.

So cute ES.

Very cute Sue.Louis is a Pepa Pig fan so I might have to make these :D :D

They are fantastic ES. Peppa pig is a big hit in our house too. I'm a bit over it. They are such a goody two shoes family!!
-
Nice, ES 😃
-
Thanks everyone. Peppa pig performed at our fete, so I made these to sell as individual biscuits. I just made a cardboard template and cut around it, and them iced them with royal icing.

Look great ES 🐷

ES they look so lovely. Much better than ones you see in the shops selling for a large price.
