Ingredients
- 100 g muscovado sugar
- 150 g butter
- 1 large egg (preferably free-range)
- 350 g plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 3 tsp mixed spice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pack Foxes Glacier Fruits, Jolly Ranchers or other colourful boiled lollies
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180˚C (fan-forced 160 ˚C) and line two baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer, beat together the butter and sugar. Add in the egg and beat through.
- Mix through the flour, baking powder, salt, mixed spice and vanilla extract until you have a biscuit dough consistency.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll out to about 1 cm in thickness.
- Cut out biscuit shapes, place on the lined baking tray, then using a smaller cutter or a small knife cut out the centre of each cookie, arranging these around the tray as well.
- Crush the sweets using a rolling pin (they don’t need to be very fine pieces) and arrange them into the centre holes of the cookies.
- Cook in the oven for about 15 minutes. If using as decorations, as soon as they come out of the oven, using a straw or end of a piping nozzle, poke out a hole at the top of each cookie. Allow to cool on a wire rack.
- String through some ribbon and hang on the tree, or package as gifts.
