Ingredients
  

For the biscuits:
  • 175 g (3/4 cup) butter softened
  • 175 g (1 ½ cup) plain flour
  • 50 g (½ cup) icing /confectioners sugar
  • 50 g (½ cup) corn flour
To decorate:
  • White marshmallows
  • 1 cup Icing / confectioners sugar
  • Water
  • chocolate drops / chocolate sprinkles / Jelly Tots
  • Icing writers in black and orange

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 180C/170C fan/350F, and line a baking tray with baking paper.
Mix all the ingredients together
  1. Measure the flour, corn flour, icing sugar and butter and pop it all in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Using your hands mix everything together until it forms crumbs then bring it together into a nice ball of dough.
Make the biscuits
  1. Lightly flour your work surface and roll the dough out until it’s about ¼ inch or just over 1/2 cm thick. To stop the dough sticking to the rolling pin you can either sprinkles some more flour on it or simply put a sheet of baking paper over the top.
  2. Using a round 7/8cm cookie cutter cut out biscuits and place them on a lined baking tray. Use a bigger/smaller one to get more/fewer biscuits. Reroll the biscuit dough until you've used it all up.
Bake the biscuits
  1. Pop the baking trays in the oven for around 10 minutes. Keep an eye on them and remove them from the oven before they turn golden brown. Leave to cool
Decorate your melted snowman biscuits
  1. Mix the icing sugar together with a tablespoon or so of water in a small bowl. Mix it together so it forms a slightly runny icing – you don't want it too thin or it will run.
  2. Pop a few tablespoons of the icing into a small freezer bag, seal it and cut a tiny hole in one corner. If you want you can add a few more drops to the icing left in your bowl to make it easier to spread on the biscuits.
  3. To make our snowman, pipe the outline of the melted snow around the biscuit, then use a spoon to spread icing into the middle of the outline to fill it in. Add the marshmallow 'melted snowman' and the chocolate drops for the buttons. I added some chocolate sprinkles and a red sprinkle with icing for the snowman's eyes and nose. You could also use small icing writers in red and black.
