For something different this week, we're going to share a recipe with you 

for these oh-so-cute cupcake biccies!

Ingredients

125g butter, chopped

1 tsp vanilla essence

1/2 cup caster sugar

1 egg yolk

1 1/4 cups plain flour, sifted

extra flour for kneading

Method

Preheat the oven to 180 and line an oven tray with baking paper.  

Put the butter, vanilla and sugar in a small bowl of an electric mixer and beat until light and fluffy.

Add egg yolk and beat well.  

Add flour to the butter and egg mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until well combined.

Turn the mix out onto a lightly floured board and knead gently until the dough is smooth.  

Cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 mins.

Roll the dough out between 2 sheets of baking paper to 3mm thick.  

Cut out shapes using cutters.  Bake biccies for 15-20 mins.  

Remove from oven and stand on a wire rack to cool. 

Decorate

Ice biscuit with a layer of white icing, then pipe on the 'patty pan' using pink icing.

Finally sprinkle the top with sprinkles and 1/2 a glace cherry.

Perfect for a baby shower, children's party or hightea!
