Shortbread Star Biscuits Recipe

These biscuits are simple but very tasty, they are light and crisp. My children loved them needless to say they didn't last long in our house.

Here's the recipe below, I hope you enjoy.

Ingredients

150g (5oz) plain flour

100g (4oz) room temperature butter

75g  (3oz) icing sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1 egg yolk

Method

1. Beat the butter and sugar together in a mixing bowl until creamy.

2. Add the egg yolk and vanilla and stir in.

3. Sieve in the flour and mix in until a dough forms.

4. On a floured surface shape the dough in to the ball, wrap in cling film and place in the fridge for a couple of hours.

5. Once chilled roll out and cut in to the desired shapes.

6. Bake in the oven on 170*C for 15 mins or until golden, keep an eye on them, they can burn easily.

You can add any flavours you like, lemon and poppy seeds are a lovely addition as is lavender, orange, nuts or caraway seeds. Kids will love decorating them and they are best eaten within 5 days of baking if stored in an airtight container.
