Delightful buttery biscuit stars - perfect edible Christmas gifts!
Ingredients:
  • 250g Salted Butter, at room temperature
  • 75g caster sugar
  • Red food colouring
  • 350g plain flour
  • 80g Salted Butter,extra, at room temperature
  • 120g icing sugar
  • Icing sugar, extra, to dust
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 170C and line 2 large baking trays with baking paper. Use an electric mixer to beat together the butter and caster sugar until pale and creamy in a bowl. Divide the mixture in half and stir a few drops of red food coloring into one portion until well combined.
  • Distribute the flour evenly among the portions. Use a non-serrated knife to cut and mix until a soft dough forms. Shape each dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes or until firm enough to roll.
  • Roll out one dough portion between two sheets of baking paper until it's 5mm thick. Use a 6cm star cutter to cut out stars, re-rolling as needed. Repeat with the rest of the dough portion. Place on lined trays and bake for 15 minutes or until golden underneath. Cool on trays for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Cream together the butter and icing sugar with an electric mixer until pale and creamy. Split the icing in half. Add red food coloring to one half and mix. Transfer each icing to separate piping bags with star nozzles. Pipe white icing onto half of the red biscuits, top with the remaining red biscuits, then repeat with red icing and plain biscuits. Lightly dust with icing sugar.
