    1. Preheat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5. Line a baking tray with baking


    paper.
    2. Cream the butter and sugar together in a bowl until pale, light and
    fluffy.
    3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, a little at a time, until well
    combined.
    4. Stir in the flour until the mixture comes together as a dough.
    5. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured work surface to a thickness of
    1cm/½in.
    6. Using biscuit cutters or a glass, cut biscuits out of the dough and
    carefully place onto the baking tray. To make into Christmas tree
    decorations, carefully make a hole in the top of the biscuit using a
    straw.
    7. 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.
    8. 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.
    9. Carefully spread the icing onto the biscuits using a knife and sprinkle
    over the glitter. Set aside until the icing hardens.

    Recipe Tips
    To make honey biscuits, swap the caster sugar for 70g/2½oz honey and
    30g/1oz caster sugar. Increase the vanilla extract to 2 teaspoons. Cook at
    180C/Fan 160/Gas 4. Pipe on Christmas shapes with 40g/1½oz melted white
    chocolate instead of using icing.

    For reduced sugar biscuits, use 60g/2½oz soft brown muscovado sugar
    instead of 100g/3½oz caster sugar. Increase the vanilla extract to 2
    teaspoons. Add 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon and 1 tbsp finely chopped
    candied peel with the flour. Decorate with halved blanched almonds instead
    of icing.
