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.
