Ingredients
- 200g plain flour (plus extra for flouring surface)
- 325g butter (200g cold butter cubed, 125g softened butter)
- 60g golden caster sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 150g icing sugar
- 5 tablespoons strawberry jam
- 0.5 tsp cinnamon
- Zest of an orange
- Brown icing pen for decoration
Method
Step 1
Pre-heat oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4 and line two large baking trays with baking paper. Add your flour and butter to a food processor if you have one, or a medium bowl if you do not. If using a food processor pulse into breadcrumbs, alternatively use your hands to rub them into breadcrumbs.Step 2
Add your caster sugar and vanilla extract and pulse/stir until the mixture starts to come together and become a little sticky. At this point, pop on a floured surface and need to form a smooth ball and chill for 20-30 mins.Step 3
Lay down baking paper on your surface and sprinkle with a little flour before rolling out your dough to a 3mm thickness. Cut out 24 6cm circles using a cutter. You will need to re-roll leftover bits to get 24 biscuit cut outs. Use the end of a piping nozzle or extra small circular cutter to cut out a small circle centre, bottom third of 12 of your biscuits (these will be your tops and the cut out will be Rudolph’s' nose).Step 4
Bob in the oven for 12 mins until golden but still light and leave to cool. Whilst you wait, you can make your fillings! Starting with the icing layer by mixing the icing sugar a tbsp of water and softened butter together with a hand whisk/wooden spoon until fully combined.Step 5
Next, combine your jam, cinnamon, and orange zest. Now to assemble! Spread a thin layer of icing onto each bottom biscuit followed by a thin layer of jam and sandwich your cut out biscuit on top. You should be able to see jam through the small cut out created to make Rudolph’s' nose.Step 6
Use your icing pen to draw on antlers, eyes, and a smiley mouth to complete your Rudolph snacks! Perfect dunked in your Crimbo hot choc!
