Ingredients

200 g white caster sugar

200 g unsalted butter, softened

1 medium egg, lightly beaten

400 g plain flour

Optional

Red food dye for icing

Icing sugar

Sprinkles for decoration

Heart shaped cookie cutter

Method

• In a large bowl, cream the butter with the sugar using an electric whisk. Whisk until well mixed and creamy in texture. Make sure to not overwork the mixture, or the biscuits will spread during baking.

• Beat in the egg until combined then add the flour and mix on low until dough forms. Gather the dough into a ball, wrap in cling film and chill for a minimum of one hour.

• Preheat the oven to 190°C, fan 170°C, gas mark 5. Knead the dough briefly on a floured surface, then roll out to around 3mm thick. Cut with heart shaped cookie cutters and transfer the biscuits to a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper.

• Bake for 12-14 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool.

• Once the biscuits are completely cool, it’s time to decorate! Set up a decoration station with sprinkles and icing and decorate to your heart's content.
