Dough

Cut the butter into pieces, place in a bowl, add the icing sugar, salt and egg, beat using the whisk on a mixer until the mixture becomes lighter in colour.

Roughly chop the candied orange peel, grate the zest from the orange, add, mix in the flour, combine quickly to form a dough – do not knead. Flatten the dough a little, cover and chill for approx. 30 mins.

Shape

On a lightly floured surface or between two sheets of baking paper, roll out the dough in batches to approx. 7 mm thick. Cut out various shapes (e.g. snowflakes and stars, 6-8.5 cm in diameter). Make a hole in the middle using a drinking straw. Place the biscuits on two baking trays lined with baking paper.

Bake

Approx. 10 mins. per tray in the centre of an oven preheated to 180 °C. Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, leave to cool completely on a rack.

Icing

Mix the icing sugar and water to create a thick icing. Transfer the icing to a disposable piping bag, cut off the tip.

Decorate

Decorate the stars with the icing and sugar pearls, leave to dry.

Christmas tree decorations

Thread decorative ribbon through the hole in the biscuit and tie in a loop. Hang the biscuits on the Christmas tree.

Good to know
Tip: Use edible gold glitter for decoration.
Tip: Decorate the biscuits with a nice Christmas message.
Shelf life: Store in an airtight tin for approx. 1 week.
