Halloween Biscuits

Bake these spooky biscuits for your Halloween party! Create pumpkins, bats, ghosts and ghouls, and enjoy with family and friends! 

Ingredients for 12 biscuits:

• 200g unsalted Jersey butter
• 200g caster sugar
• 1 free range egg, lightly beaten 
• 550g plain flour
• 2 tsp vanilla extract 

Ingredients for decorating:

• 300g icing sugar
• 4-6 tbsp water
• 3-5 drop food colouring 

Method for biscuits:

• Preheat the oven to 190C. Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.

• Beat the Jersey butter and sugar together in a bowl until combined.

• Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, a little at a time, until well combined.

• Stir in the flour until the mixture comes together as a dough.

• Roll the dough out on a lightly floured work surface to a thickness of 1cm. 

• Using Halloween-style biscuit cutters, cut biscuits out of the dough and carefully place onto the baking tray.

• Bake the biscuits for 8-10 minutes, or until pale golden-brown. Set aside to harden for 5 minutes, then cool on a wire rack.

• For the icing, sift the icing sugar into a large mixing bowl and stir in enough water to create a smooth mixture. Stir in the food colouring.

• Carefully spread the icing onto the biscuits using a knife and set aside until the icing hardens.

• Enjoy!
