These green Christmas tree biscuits look fantastic, and will keep kids busy. Help them cook their biscuits, then set them up for a fun afternoon of decorating!

Ingredients

1 quantity of biscuit dough (see below)

330 g packet royal icing mix

liquid green food colouring, to tint

2 musk flavoured semi-soft candy stick (as close to yellow as possible)

white icing pen, to decorate

sugar mimosa balls or red sugar pearls, to decorate

Biscuit dough

250 g unsalted butter, chopped at room temperature

⅔ cup caster sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 ¼ cups plain flour

¼ tsp baking powder

Method

  1. To make dough: beat butter, sugar and vanilla in a small bowl of an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Transfer to a large bowl. Add combined sifted flour and baking powder. Stir until well combined. Turn out onto a lightly floured bench. Bring together to form a soft dough. Divide in half. Wrap each portion in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 hour, or until firm, before using.
  2. Roll out each portion of biscuit dough between two sheets of baking paper until ½cm thick.
  3. Using a 13cm Christmas tree cutter, cut out 14 shapes, re-rolling dough as necessary. Arrange 4cm apart on two large oven trays lined with baking paper.
  4. Cook in a moderately slow oven (160C) for about 15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Stand biscuits on trays for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  5. Place icing in a medium bowl. Following directions on packet, gradually stir in 40-50ml of water until a spreadable consistency. Tint with colouring.
  6. Cut musk sticks crossways into thin slice to represent stars.
  7. One at a time, spread icing evenly over biscuits. Decorate with writing icing, red sugar pearls and stars, as pictured. Stand at room temperature until set.
