Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 10 minutes | Servings: 16

Ingredients

  • 400g plain flour
  • 100g cornflour
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder 20g Hot Cross Bun Spice
  • 250g butter, softened
  • 250g caster sugar
  • 2 eggs

 

For the icing

  • 1 egg white
  • ¼ tsp of lemon juice
  • 1 cup icing sugar, sifted

 

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 180°C (conventional). In one bowl, sift in flour, cornflour, salt, baking powder and spice. Set aside. In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time and mix thoroughly. Add the flour mixture slowly until combined. Shape the mixture with your hands and roll into small logs.
  • Place them in an airtight container and let them rest in the fridge for 1 hour.
  • Once rested, roll out the dough and cut out small circles with a cookie cutter. Place the cookies 2-3cm apart on an unbuttered baking sheet and bake for 7-10 minutes until slightly browned. Transfer to a wire rack.
  • To make the icing, beat the egg white with an electric mixer until soft peaks form in a mixing bowl. Add the lemon juice. Then, start adding the icing sugar gradually, spoon by spoon.
  • Keep beating until stiff peaks form. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag and decorate your cookies once they’re completely cooled.
