Christmas Countdown: Days 6/7/8: Christmas Tree Biscuits Recipe

No posts for a few days, blogging every day is harder than I expected it to be...

Anyway these are very easy, delicious biscuits which are especially good around Christmas as they are full of spices. Very simple dough, no resting required and a quick bake.

Preheat the oven to 190 degrees fan and grease a couple of baking trays.

Cream 125g of butter and 125g of caster sugar together. Once creamed add one egg. 

Then mix in 225g of plain flour and 2 teaspoons of mixed spice in to the mixture.

Then make in to a dough, dust a surface and rolling pin with flour and then roll the dough in to a thin sheet. 

Cut in to shapes and place on baking trays. As these biscuits can be used for Christmas tree decorations just cut a small hole in to the top of the shape so that a ribbon can be pushed through.

Bake for 10 -15 mins or until golden brown.

Leave them to cool and then decorate as you wish. 

I have just splattered the biscuits with different coloured icing to make it even quicker, obviously you can spend more time on them...





See, bit messy, but simple.
