SANTA Cookies - makes 12

For the shortbread

120g butter

50g caster sugar

170g plain flour

Tiny dash water if needed

Easy Icing:

200g icing sugar, sieved

30ml milk, cold is fine

निर्देश

Mix together in a bowl, transfer to a piping bag or food bag and snip the corner to decorate.

To decorate:

100g Dr. Oetker milk chocolate, melted

1 packet Dr. Oetker Chocolatey Christmas Decorations

Dr. Oetker Taste of Christmas Sprinkles

To make the cookies:

Beat the butter and the sugar together until smooth. Then add the flour and blend until the dough comes together. If you don’t have a processor do this in a bowl with a wooden spoon. Test a small amount and see if it will clump to make a ball, if it seems very dry add a 1/2 tsp of water and blend again.

Turn on to a work surface and shape the dough into a circle, cover with parchment paper and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven 170ºC fan.

Roll out the dough to about the thickness of a 1 euro/pound coin

Cut into shortbread rounds and place onto a baking tray.

Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes, until lightly golden. Set aside to cool completely on a wire rack.

To decorate - pipe on the icing or dip in the chocolate and top with the decorations as you wish.

Enjoy!

Make ahead: Store the shortbread dough in an airtight bag in the fridge for 1 week, then roll out and bake.
