Ingredients

For the biscuits

  • 230 g Butter or baking spread softened, unsalted
  • 225 g Caster sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 385 g Plain flour
  • ½ tbsp Baking Powder

For the decoration

  • Icing sugar optional
  • Edible glue optional
  • Sprinkles/glitter optional
  • Blue fondant optional

Instructions

  • To make the dough cream together the butter and caster sugar. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix well
  • Add the plain flour, cinnamon and baking powder and mix to form a dough. Wrap it in cling film and chill it in the fridge for 1 hour
  • Pre-heat your oven to 160C Fan/180C/350F/Gas Mark 4, line your baking tray(s) with baking paper
  • Roll the dough out onto baking paper, and cut out using a 2.5" round biscuit cutter (or snowflake shaped cutters if you prefer)
  • Bake them for 8 - 10 minutes, until they are just going golden at the edges. Leave to cool completely
  • Decorate however you like. I made a thick icing from icing sugar and water and piped snowflake patterns on some of the biscuits. For the others, I cut out snowflake shapes from blue fondant and stuck them onto the biscuits with edible glue. I also sprayed on some edible silver glitter
  • Store in an airtight container and eat within 5 days
