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.
Aha, THESE the "artsy" biscuits
