Bake Them Yourself Christmas Biscuits!

 Yum! Just made these with my two older sisters and it has definitely kicked off the Christmas mood! You can make so many fun different shapes and use different recipes to match the time of year but these are perfect for Christmas! Christmas time also means you can make and eat as many as you want because hey! You're on holiday! Try these out for yourself and spread the Christmas cheer!

Makes 8 to 10

Ingredients

  • 175g plain flour
  • 110g soft butter
  • 50g caster sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas4
  • Put the flour and butter in to a mixing bowl and whisk until combined.
  • Add the sugar and mix until thoroughly mixed together.
  • If the mixture is like a breadcrumb or powdery mixture, use your hands to combine and mold in to a dough.
  • Leave the dough to rest in the fridge for 30 mins
  • Roll the dough out on to a chopping board with some flour then use a festive shape cutter to cut out the biscuits or use a knife to create your own shapes.
  • Place on a greased or lined baking tray and put in the oven and cook for 10 minutes.
  • When they are cooked, take them out of the oven and place on a cooling rack. 
  • Then you can decorate and ice them as much or as little you want! Have fun with it!
A cute idea to do with these is to cut a hole in the top before baking then once they are baked you can tie ribbon or string through them to make Christmas tree decorations! Merry Christmas!
