  • ¾ cup plain flour   
  • chocolate, to melt   
  • decorating materials like sprinkles, lollies or fruit.

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 190C and line a tray with baking paper.  

2. Put the butter and sugar in a bowl and beat until creamy. Mix in the flour.  

3. Roll out your dough and shape them into circles. Use a fork to give them a smiley face.  

4. Pop them in the oven for 15-20 minutes. Once cooked, let them rest until cool.  

5. While you’re waiting for the biscuits to cool down, melt your baking chocolate in a bowl over a saucepan of boiling water.  

6. When everything is ready, dip the top half of the biscuits into melted chocolate. This will give the faces chocolate hair and hats. 

7. Finish them off with any additional ingredients you want. Try experimenting with colours and flavours. Your cookies are ready to eat!
