🌍 Earth Day Biscuits

A fun, simple bake to celebrate Earth Day 🌱
These two-colour biscuits are perfect for little hands to help create their own mini planets — no two will ever look the same.

A small, thoughtful way to make something together (and a nice alternative to throwaway treats too 💚)

🌍 Planet Biscuits (2-Colour Dough)

You’ll need:

• 200g unsalted butter (softened)
• 100g caster sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 300g plain flour

For the colours:

• Blue food colouring
• Green food colouring

How to make:

1. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Stir in the vanilla extract.
3. Add the flour and mix until a soft dough forms.
4. Split the dough in half.
   
• Add blue colouring to one half
• Add green colouring to the other
  Mix each until evenly coloured.
5. Create your planet effect:
   Tear off small pieces of each colour and gently press them together (don’t overmix — you want that swirly Earth look 🌍).
6. Roll into balls, then lightly flatten into biscuit shapes.
7. Place on a lined baking tray and chill for 15–20 minutes (helps them keep their shape).
8. Bake at 180°C (160°C fan) for 10–12 minutes, until just golden at the edges.
9. Leave to cool… then admire your mini planets ✨

Tip:
Let little hands decide where the “land” and “sea” go — no two planets will look the same, which is kind of the point 💚
