Step 1: Gather your ingredients
Make sure you get an adult to help you first!
For the Biscuits
- 250g Salted Butter, softened
- 3/4 cup Icing Sugar
- 1/2 cup Cornflour
- 1 1/2 cups White Flour
For the Icing
- 1 Cup powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornflour
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Yellow and Purple food colouring
Step 2:
Preheat oven to 150°C bake (140°C fan forced).
Grease your well loved oven tray or line with baking paper.
Cube and beat salted butter and icing sugar until pale and fluffy.
Step 3:
Mix in cornflour and white flour until the mixture comes together and forms a dough.
Step 4:
Put the dough in the fridge until it firms up.
Step 5:
On a floured surface, roll out dough to 1 cm thick and cut into oval shapes using a sharp knife. Sprinkle flour on your knife to prevent the dough sticking.
Step 6:
Place on prepared tray and bake 15-20 minutes, until shortbread is pale but crisp. Cool completely on a wire rack and store in an airtight container.
Step 7: Now for the fun. Icing!
Get your ingredients:
- 1 Cup powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornflour
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Yellow and Purple food colouring
Step 8:
Mix powdered sugar, cornflour, vanilla extract and milk together in a large bowl.
When mixed, transfer half of the mixture to a seperate bowl. Set aside a small amount of icing for making the eyes!
Add FIVE drops of purple food colouring to one bowl and FIVE drops of yellow food colouring to the other.
Step 9:
Create a piping bag using either baking paper or a sandwich bag and pipe Kiri and Lou onto the biscuts, using the PRINT OUT as a guide.
Step 10:
If you cut a really small opening in your piping bag, you can get really detailed lines or blobs! Use your small amount of reserved icing for the eyes. For the pupils, I mixed up some blue, red and green food colouring and dabbed it on the eyeballs using a toothpick.
Leave to set for 30 mins!
