Christmas Tree Biscuits (Cookies)
Yield:  30 biscuits
 
150 g butter; softened
225 g brown sugar
2 eggs; lightly beaten
350 g plain flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
4 teaspoons ground mixed spice
 
Combine the butter and sugar.  Slowly add the eggs and beat until
the mixture is smooth.  Stir in the flour, baking powder and spice
and mix thoroughly.  Cover and chill for about 1 hour minimum.
Preheat oven to 180 C / 350 F / Gas 4.  Carefully roll out the
mixture on a floured surface and using Christmas biscuit cutters,
cut out various shapes.  Using a skewer, make holes at the top of
the shape to thread ribbons through.  Place on greased baking sheets
and bake for about 10 minutes.  Cool on a wire rack.  When cool,
thread with Christmas ribbons, decorate with icing and hang on your
Christmas tree.
