The kids can help at the marked areas .

Dough

125 g butter, soft
80 g sugar
1 pinch salt
1 fresh egg
1 egg white
1 organic lemon
300 g white flour

Place the butter in a bowl, mix in the sugar and salt. Add the egg and egg white. Using the whisk on a mixer, beat until the mixture becomes lighter in colour. Grate in the lemon zest, squeeze out 1 tbsp of lemon juice, add along with the flour. Using a wooden spoon, combine the mixture to form a dough, flatten gently. Cover the dough and chill for at least 1 hr.

To roll out the dough

On a lightly floured surface or between a cut-open plastic bag, roll out the dough in batches to approx. 7 mm thick.

To cut out the biscuits

Cut out small trees (approx. 6 cm in diameter) and large trees (approx. 9 cm in diameter), place on a baking tray lined with baking paper.

To glaze

1 egg yolk
1 tsp water

Whisk the egg yolk and water in a small bowl, lightly glaze the biscuits.

To bake

Approx. 10 mins. in the centre of an oven preheated to 200 °C. Remove from the oven, leave to cool completely on a rack.

Cream cheese

125 g double cream cheese
1 tbsp icing sugar

Mix the cream cheese and icing sugar in a bowl.

Christmas forest

1 stick green modelling marzipan
2 tbsp chopped pistachios
2 tbsp coconut flakes
sugar sprinkles

Cover the biscuits with cream cheese, decorate with marzipan, pistachios, coconut flakes and sugar sprinkles.

Good to know
Shelf life: Store the biscuits (without the cream cheese) in an airtight container for approx. 2 weeks. As soon as the biscuits are decorated, enjoy them fresh.
