Ingredients

2 ready-rolled sweet short pastry

80 gram butter

1 cup icing sugar

1 tablespoon raspberry jam

1 teaspoon lemon juice

3/4 cup berry icing sugar or 1 cup icing sugar, plus a few drops strawberry essence and colouring

raspberry powder – optional (for kids, use sprinkles or little lollies)

Method

1.Preheat oven to 175ºC. Line two oven trays with paper.

2.Using a cookie cutter, cut out desired shapes from semi-thawed pastry and arrange on the lined trays. Bake for 8-10 minutes until just golden, then set aside to cool completely.

3.Meanwhile, whisk the butter with icing sugar, jam and lemon juice to make a creamy frosting (adjust consistency with icing sugar or lemon juice). Chill until required. Add enough water (1-2 tablespoons) to the flavoured icing sugar to make a thin icing glaze. Glaze half the biscuits and chill 5 minutes until set.

4.Sandwich the cold biscuits with the raspberry frosting and glazed biscuits, then decorate with a sprinkle of raspberry powder if desired.
