INGREDIENTS

For the shortcrust pastry:

300g (2 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour

2g (1/2 tsp) baking powder

100g (3/4 cup) powdered sugar

Lemon zest

100g butter

2 eggs

For the icing:

250g (2 cups) powdered sugar

40ml (1/4 cup) water

For decoration:

Pink food coloring

Purple food coloring

Green food coloring

Blue food coloring

METHOD

1. In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, powdered sugar, and lemon zest. Whisk together. Add the butter and rub it in with your fingers until the mixture becomes sandy in texture. Add the eggs and mix to combine.

2. When the dough starts to come together, knead it by hand until smooth and compact. Wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate for 1 hour.

3. Once chilled, flour the work surface and roll out the pastry to a thickness of about 4 mm.

4. Cut out the biscuits using Christmas cookie cutters and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake at 180°C (360°F) for 15 minutes.

5. In a bowl, mix the powdered sugar and water to make the icing.

6. Divide the icing evenly among 4 bowls, adding a different food coloring to each one (pink, purple, green, and blue). Transfer each colored icing to a piping bag.

7. Decorate the cookies with the colored icings, using a separate piping bag for each color. Let the icing set completely.

8. Arrange the Christmas glazed biscuits on a serving plate and enjoy.
