Biscuits for Cookie Cutters
The grandchildren like home made biscuits so these I make when they are coming. I have been able to source a range of cookie cutters especially for kids. You will find them at debskitchen.com.au I dont normally put icing on them as Son and Daughter in law find the kids are active enough without a sugar fix.

Sugar Biscuits
200g of Self Raising Flour
pinch salt
25g Cornflour
100g Cooking marg
100g Castor Sugar
1 egg
1/4 tsp Vanilla Esscence
little milk

Sift the flour, salt and cornflour into a bowl. Rub in the butter, then add the sugar. Beat the egg and vanilla and a little milk and mix with round top knife, then use hands to combine ingredients to a ball. Knead lightly, then chill for 30 mins.
Break off chunks and knead again and roll out to 1/4 inch thick and cut into shapes. Pace on oven tray lined with baking paper. Bake in a moderately hot oven 190-200c for 8-10 mins or until golden brown. Cool initially on tray and then put on wire cooling rack. Can be iced if desired.
