SPECIAL STARS
It’s not essential to use different-sized cookie cutters but if you do, keep an eye on the star biscuits while I they’re baking. The smaller ones might need to be removed from the oven earlier so that they don’t burn.
FUTURE PROOF
Make the paste in advance and store it in a sealed jar in the fridge for a few weeks.
“Growing up, we always looked forward to the iconic, extra-large box of Baker’s (Choice Assorted biscuits at Christmas time. We each had our favourites but the foilwrapped chocolate ones were those we all loved most. I’ve baked my own versions as a celebration of our heritage biscuits.”
- Abigail Donnelly
