Categories     Buffet, Snack, Supper, Treat

Time 22m

Yield Makes 20 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 9

140g icing sugar, sieved
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg yolk
250g butter, cut into small cubes
375g plain flour, sieved
200g icing sugar, sieved
edible food colouring, optional
edible gold and silver balls
approx 2m thin ribbon cut into 10cm lengths

Steps:

  • Tip the icing sugar, vanilla extract, egg yolk and butter into a mixing bowl, then stir together with a wooden spoon (or pulse in a food processor until well combined). Add the flour and mix to a firm dough. Shape the dough into two flat discs and wrap them. Chill for 20-30 mins. Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5 and line two baking sheets with non-stick baking paper.
  • Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about the thickness of two £1 coins. Cut out Christmassy shapes (use a cutter if you like) and place on the baking sheets. Using the tip of a skewer, cut a small hole in the top of each cookie. Bake for 10-12 mins until lightly golden.
  • Lift the biscuits onto a wire rack to cool. Meanwhile, mix the icing sugar with a few drops of cold water to make a thick, but still runny icing. Colour with edible food colouring, if you like. Spread it over the cooled biscuits, decorate with edible balls and thread with ribbon when dry.

  • Taste the punch and if you think it needs another half bottle of champagne, extra 7Up, extra juice, etc, add it to taste. This is a very flexible recipe.
  • I prefer to add ice to individual glasses rather than to the punch bowl as to not allow the punch bowl to become watered down as the ice melts.

A DEFINITIVE RANKING OF THE BEST CHRISTMAS FOODS - SPOON …

From spoonuniversity.com
  • Holiday Sugar Cookies. Sugar cookies are usually one of my least favorite cookies. I can appreciate simplicity, but I like my cookies with big chunks of chocolate, nuts, or fruit in them.
  • Mashed Potatoes. Potatoes are the best vegetable; they are very plain, but so versatile. People have strong opinions on the best form of potatoes, but mashed potatoes will always be at the top for me.
  • Apple Cider. Apple cider is a general fall food, but a warm, spiced cider fits perfectly into a Christmas meal. Cold, hot, or sparkling, it complements all the holiday flavors of cinnamon, allspice, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg.
  • Cranberry Sauce. Cranberry sauce is quite an odd food when you think about it. However, no Christmas dinner would be complete without a huge dish of cranberry sauce to accompany the meat.
  • Stuffing. Stuffing can also be a hit or miss. If it’s just dried bread with seasoning, celery, and onions, I find it quite boring and don’t think it adds much to a meal.
  • Gingerbread Man Cookies. Gingerbread cookies are always so cute, but they also can be a hit or miss. A soft, chewy cookie is heaven on a plate, but if it is crisp like a ginger snap, it’s not doing its job.
  • Ham. Although the holiday meat is technically the main part of the meal, I never find myself getting too excited for it. I get excited for the cookies and the sides like mashed potatoes.
  • Eggnog. I know people have very strong opinions on eggnog, but I am putting it towards the bottom of the list because even if you love eggnog, you can only drink so much of it.
  • Candy Canes. Candy canes are always beautiful and mesmerizing to look at, but at the end of the day, they are simply hard sugar with some peppermint extract.
  • Fruitcake. Ah, the infamous fruitcake. The gift that is to be re-gifted as many time as it possibly can. I don’t hear of many people buying or baking fruitcakes anymore (and there’s a reason for that), but I think that traditionalists still fight for the cake as a holiday must.
