Ingredients

• 175g softened butter
• 175g self raising flour
• 40g icing sugar with a little extra for dusting after they are cooked.

Method

• Heat the oven to 180c fan.
• Add the softened butter and sugar to a bowl and mix well until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
• Sift in the flour and mix thoroughly, until there are no lumps.
• Place the mix into a piping bag, with a star shaped nozzle. (medium size)
• Grease and line 2 baking trays with parchment paper.
• Pipe the mixture onto the trays in 2cm circles. Leave space between each one, as the mixture will spread as it cooks.
• Bake for approx 15 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown.
• Take out of the oven and leave to cool for 20 minutes on the trays.
• After 20 mins, lift them carefully onto a wire rack using a fish slice.
• Leave to cool completely, if you can, as they will be very soft while they are warm.
• Once cooled, sieve over a small amount of icing sugar.
