Hi Guys,

So as it is December I decided it was time to start Christmas baking.

This recipe is cinnamon trees. is a variation of the Woman's Weekly Shortbread Biscuit that are posted a couple of months ago.

The cookbook can be found here.

Ingredients

8oz/227g Butter
10oz/283g Plain flour
3oz/85g Caster sugar
1 tsp Cinnamon
Writing icing pens to decorate (mine were from Sainsbury's)

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 190 Degrees Celsius/375 Degrees Fahrenheit/Gas Mark 5. (I did it in my fan oven at 170 Degrees Celsius).

Step 2

Mix the sugar and butter together until it looks something like this.

Step 3

Then rub in the flour until it turns into a dough.

Step 4

Roll out the dough onto a floured surface and cut out the shapes using a tree shaped cutter.

(Use smaller cutters for any dough that it left such as a small snowman.)

Step 5

Transfer onto baking tray and bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown.


Step 6

Decorate using writing icing pens and enjoy!
