Ingredients
- 175g butter, softened100g caster sugar
- 1 medium egg yolk
- 250g plain flour
- 50g royal icing sugar, made up as instructed
- Silver balls and ribbon
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/ 160°C fan/gas mark 4. Line two baking trays with baking paper.
- Beat the butter and sugar until creamy. Beat in the egg yolk and add the flour and mix to a smooth dough. Gather together with your hands, wrap in clingfilm and chill for 30 mins.
- Roll out the dough between two sheets of clingfilm to the thickness of a £2 coin. Cut out into stars or trees or just rounds and put on the baking trays, leaving a small gap around the biscuits. If they are to be hung on the tree make a small hole for the ribbon.
- Bake for 15 mins, leave for 10 mins and then cool on a wire tray. Pipe or drizzle some icing onto the biscuits and decorate with silver balls. Allow the icing to set before storing.
