This recipe for Christmas Frosted Cranberry Biscuits was inspired by the Easter Biscuits I made a few years ago. For Christmas though I have included cranberries, I have still used the frosted sugar topping to give the look of a frosty morning. This is a perfect recipe for baking with children and also creating your own Christmas Tree decorations. How long can you resist eating them if the are hanging in view on your Christmas tree though?

Recipe – Christmas Frosted Cranberry Biscuits
Makes 22
Oven temp 200 degrees C
Equipment
- mixing bowl
- scales
- wooden spoon
- sieve
- baking tray – lined with parchment paper
- small bowl
- pastry brush
Ingredients
75g caster sugar
100g butter (softened)
1 egg separated
200g plain flour
50g dried cranberries
1-2 tablespoons milk
egg white (lightly beaten)
caster sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg yolk.
- Sift the flour into the butter and sugar mixture.
- Add the fruit
- Add the milk, you should have a soft dough.
- Onto a floured surface gently roll out the mixture, until 1/2 cm thick.
- Cut out your biscuits using a star pastry cutter or other Christmas cookie cutter.
- Place them onto a lined baking tray and bake for 10 minutes oven temp 200 degrees. If you want to hang them on your Christmas Tree with ribbon you should make a small hole in the star before they go into the oven – I used a chop stick.
- Remove them from the oven after 10 minutes and using a pastry brush carefully brush each biscuit with egg white and then sprinkle with caster sugar.
- Place back in the oven for a final 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven when lightly golden and allow to cool for ten minutes before carefully transferring to a cooling rack.
