I made shortbread biscuits. Mummy read the recipe and I measured and mixed everything.

Ingredients:

• 250g softened butter
• 140g caster sugar
• 1 egg yolk
• 2 tsp vanilla essence
• 300g plain flour

Method:

• Mix the butter & sugar in a bowl with a wooden spoon.
• Next add the egg yolk & vanilla essence. Mix together.
• Soft over the flour (in 100g batches) mixing well after each addition.
• Squash the dough together into a ball and leave in the fridge for 20-30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
• Roll out dough and cut into shapes
• Bake on tray lined with grease proof paper for 10-12 minutes.
• Allow to cool on wire rack then decorate.

I used honey and sprinkles to decorate some of the biscuits as we didn’t have any icing pens.

I now have my own set of rubber gloves so I can wash up too.
