Cooking Time: 15 mins
Serves: Make

Ingredients
175g butter, softened
100g caster sugar
1 medium egg yolk
250g plain flour
50g icing sugar, made up as instructed
Food colouring (optional)
Sprinkles and icing pens to decorate(optional)

Method

1 Preheat the oven to 180C/ 160C Fan/Gas 4. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper. Beat the butter and sugar until creamy. Beat in the egg yolk and add the flour and mix to a smooth dough. Gather together with your hands, wrap in clingfilm and chill for 30 minutes.

2 Roll out the dough between two sheets of clingfilm to the thickness of a £2 coin.

3 Cut out into shapes using any cookie cutter you wish and put on the baking trays, leaving a small gap around the biscuits.

4 Bake for 15 minutes, leave for 10 minutes and then cool on a wire tray. Pipe or drizzle some icing onto the biscuits and decorate with sprinkles. Leave the icing to set before storing.
