Cook’s tip: You can also use plain icing and decorate with jelly tots, smarties, crushed candy canes, chocolate chips, hundreds and thousands, etc. Decorating biscuits is a great activity for children’s parties.
For the biscuits, beat the butter and icing sugar in a food processor until creamy. Slowly add the rest of the ingredients and mix to form a stiff, pliable dough. If it is too dry, add a little water. Divide the dough into 2 and roll each piece out, then shape into a log about 8cm long. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Slice the logs into rounds, each about 0,5cm thick. Line baking trays with baking paper and place the rounds a few centimetres apart. Bake until golden brown, for about 15 – 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to cool. To serve, dip one side of the biscuit into the chocolate and before it sets, cover the chocolate with the print.Colourful butter biscuits
