- 100g butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Sieve the flour into a mixing bowl, add the butter and, using your fingers, crumble until it resembles breadcrumbs.
- Add the sugar, ground almonds, egg, almond extract and 1 Tbsp of cold water. Combine well into a firm dough.
- Roll the dough out thinly (to about 3mm thickness) on a lightly floured surface, then stamp out Christmas shapes with cookie or play-doh cutters.
- If you want to hang the biscuits, cut out a hole in the top of each cookie using a straw or skewer.
