Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 180°C. Lightly grease a baking tray or line with baking paper.

Step 2

Cream butter and sugar until light and creamy. Mix in the egg.

Step 3

Sift the flour, baking powder, spices and cocoa and fold into the creamed mixture.

Step 4

Lightly knead, and then chill the dough for 20 minutes in the refrigerator before rolling out on a lightly floured bench. Roll to about 3mm thick and, using a round cookie cutter, cut circles with a 5-6cm diameter. Press excess dough together and re-roll until it is used up.

Step 5

Place on trays and bake for 10-15 minutes.

Step 6

Mix the icing sugar and food colouring with enough water to make a smooth, spreadable icing. Ice half the biscuits with the icing and decorate with half a glace cherry. Spread the other half of the biscuits with jam and sandwich together.
