Celebrate Christmas this year by giving the kids Santa treats decorated with candy, coconut and icing!

Ingredients

Main

1 cup caster sugar

120 g butter, at room temperature

1 egg

2 tablespoons milk

½ teaspoon vanilla essence

2 ¼ cups plain flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 small package dark chocolate buttons to decorate

¼ cup mini marshmallows to decorate

½ cup shredded coconut to decorate

Royal Icing

1 eggwhite

1½ cups sifted pure icing sugar

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 bottle red food colouring

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan forced). Line 2 baking trays with baking paper. Place sugar and butter in a bowl. Using electric beaters, beat until light. Add egg, milk and vanilla essence and beat to combine. Add flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Beat to a smooth dough.
  2. Split dough in half, roll one half into 14 balls. Insert a paddle pop stick into each ball and flatten out onto baking trays.
  3. Roll remaining half of mix to 5mm thick and cut in 14 triangles (6cm x 6cm). Place onto the top of each circle to create a hat. Bake for 12-15 min until golden brown. While still hot, push choc buttons into the biscuits for features. Cool completely.
  4. Spread red Royal Icing onto the hat and place mini marshmallows on the hat for the tip. Add an extra ½ cup sifted icing sugar to white icing and spread some onto the chin area then sprinkle with coconut for the beard. Place remaining icing into 
a piping bag and use to trim the hat and moustache on each biscuit.
  5. Beat 1 eggwhite until frothy. Sift in 1½ cups sifted pure icing sugar and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Set half of the icing aside. Tint the remaining half with a few drops of pillar red food colouring.
