Ingredients:

275g plain flour
175g butter
125g brown caster sugar
50g ground almonds
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 whole egg
1 egg yolk

Method:

Place in a flour then dice the butter and rub into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Stir in the sugar and ground almonds before breaking in the egg and adding the egg yolk and vanilla extract. Beat thoroughly to form a dough (this should be similar in consistency to marzipan).

Roll the dough out on a floured work surface then cut with a knife (or pastry cutters) into rounds or Christmas shapes. Transfer these to a greased baking tray then place in an oven pre-heated to 180°C and bake for 8 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown in colour.

Transfer to a wire rack to cool before serving or storing.
