Donut Cookies

Donuts are one of those treats I love to eat and if it has custard and chocolate, that's a bonus.  I have been inspired to make these donut cookies for awhile and so today I made them.

These donut cookies are super cute, easy and fun to make. What I love about this recipe is that you don't need to rest the dough. You just have to make the dough and roll it out.

I really enjoyed making these donut cookies as you can decorate the donuts anyway you like and add lots and lots of sprinkles on top.  These cookies are also delicious with a hint of lemon in the icing.

Kids and grown ups will all love this recipe.  Hope you bake them soon.

Happy Baking xo


Donut Cookies

Ingredients

· 1 cup plain flour
· ¼ cup rice flour
· ¼ cup caster sugar
· 100 grams unsalted butter
· 2 tablespoons milk

Icing

· 2 cups icing sugar
· 1 egg white
· Water or lemon juice (approx 4-6 tablespoons)
· Food colouring (Red & blue Queens Food colouring)
· Sprinkles

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 160°C.

2. Line two trays with baking paper.

3. Place flours, sugar and butter into a food processor and pulse until mixture resembles bread crumbles. Add milk and pulse several more times.

4. Knead into a dough and roll dough to 3 mm thickness and cut out rounds using a 4 cm cookie cutter and then using a smaller cutter cut for the donut holes.

5. Place onto baking trays and bake for 15-20 minutes or until
golden brown.

6. Allow biscuits to cool completely before decorating.

Icing

7. Place icing sugar, egg white and water or lemon juice into a bowl and using an electric beater beat on high for 3 minutes until mixture is smooth.

8. Place icing into a piping bag and pipe icing around each cookie and add sprinkles.

Tips

· I used a piping tip to cut out the donut holes.

· Remember to allow biscuits to cool completely before icing.

· If the icing appears too thick add more lemon juice and if the icing appears too runny add more icing sugar.
