Equipment

Ingredients

  • 125 grams unsalted butter softened
  • 60 grams caster sugar
  • 180 grams plain flour
  • 35 grams sprinkles of your choice

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with baking paper and put to one side for now.
  • In a stand mixer or mixing bowl, add the butter and sugar. Mix together until light, fluffy and smooth.
  • Add the flour and combine to get a smooth paste. It may look a little crumbly, but it will hold together.
  • Add the sprinkles and try and combine them as best you can.
  • Lightly flour a work surface and roll out your dough to approximately 0.5cm (1/4 an inch) thick.
  • Using a cutter, cut into 10-12 rounds and place on the baking sheet. You'll probably end up with one biscuit made up of the leftovers from the rest - this is my favourite as it's always the first to get eaten! Add some more sprinkles on top of the cookies.
    The number of cookies you'll get will depend on the size and shape of the cookie cutters you use.
  • Put the biscuits in the fridge for 20-30 minutes to firm up. Preheat the oven to 330 ºF or 165 ºC.
  • Bake the cookies in the oven for 13-15 minutes or until golden brown on the top.
  • When they're ready, remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. Enjoy with a cup of tea.
