Cooking Instructions

  1. Cream the butter and sugar together until ale and fluffy. Sift together the cake flour and cocoa before mixing into the creamed butter mixture.
  2. Turn the mixture out on a lightly floured surface before kneading together for a few seconds. Place in the fridge to rest for 30 minutes.
  3. Remove from the fridge and let the dough soften until it can be managed and shaped. Roll out the dough to about 5mm- 1 cm before using various  cookie cut outs to press out shapes of the biscuits.
  4. Place the cut outs on a greased baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes or until just set, they will harden as they cool.
  5. Place the prepared royal icing in a piping bag, secure the end and snip off the tip. Use the icing as a glue to stick down the various gummy sweets, adding eyes and fangs to the biscuits.
