I found some Christmas cookie cutters today and couldn't resist buying them. So then I decided to knock up some quick Christmas tree shortbread biscuits!
I used just a basic butter shortbread recipe with:
125g (4oz) butter
60 g (2oz) caster sugar
180g (6oz) plain flour
1) Cream the butter and sugar together in a bowl
2) Stir in the flour
3) Knead until firm..don't need to much though!
4) Roll out onto a floured work surface and cut out some shapes!
5) Put into an oven at 180 degrees for about 20 minutes.
I used a bit of butter cream icing mixed with green food dye for the decoration and some silver balls (icing looks yellow in my pic..it's not?!). You can just use glaze icing with water but I really hate the taste!
I rushed these, might make some nicer ones at a later date! Also will be making some Xmas cupcakes so looking forward to that! :-D
