RECIPE

Christmas Shortbread Biscuits

Ingredients:

220g Butter (room temperature)

100g Caster Sugar

350g Plain Flour

1 tsp Milk

Vanilla extract

Method:

- In a mixing bowl beat together the sugar and butter until soft.

- add in a drop of vanilla extract

- add in all the plain flour and mix slowly until mix holds together.

-if the mix is not sticking together or if it's not holding its shape add in a small drop of milk.

-turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and with a non stick rolling pin roll out the dough to approx 0.5cm thickness.

- with a cookie cutter cut out your biscuits and carefully lay them into a lined cookie tray.

- to keep their shape and stop your biscuits spreading in the oven, put them into a fridge to chill for approx 10-15 minutes before baking.

- bake in a preheated oven 165 degrees C for 13 minutes until lightly browned.

- let them cool slightly on the tray to firm up before moving to a wire rack to cool completely

- decorate with icing and lots of sprinkles!
