Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the butter in a bowl and beat it using an electric whisk until soft and creamy. Beat in the sugar, then the egg and vanilla or lemon, and finally the flour to make a dough. If the dough feels a bit sticky, add a little more flour and knead it in.
- Cut the dough into six pieces and roll out one at a time to about 5mm thickness on a floured surface. The easiest way to do this is to roll the mixture out on a baking mat. Cut out letter and number shapes (we used 7 x 4cm cutters) and peel away the leftover dough at the edges. Re-roll any off-cuts and repeat.
- Transfer the whole mat or the individual biscuits to two baking sheets (transfer them to baking parchment if not using a mat) and bake for 7-10 mins or until the edges are just brown. Leave to cool completely and repeat with the rest of the dough. You should be able to fit about 12 on each sheet. If you are using two sheets, then the one underneath will take a minute longer.
- Ice the biscuits using the pens to make stripes or dots, or colour in the whole biscuit if you like. They will keep for five days in an airtight container.

FANCY ICED BISCUITS

Steps:
- Line a couple of trays with baking parchment and heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Mix together the flour, salt, caster sugar and lime zest (keep the zested limes for the icing). Add the butter and rub together until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
- Beat the egg and vanilla bean paste together with a fork, then mix into the other ingredients. Knead until even. Chill until firm, then roll on a lightly floured surface until about 4-5mm thick. Stamp out 8cm rounds, transfer to baking trays, then chill again for 15 mins before baking for 15-17 mins until golden. Remove from the oven, transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool before decorating.
- For the icing, put the royal icing sugar into a bowl, add about 65ml lemon or lime juice and use a metal spoon or electric mixer to beat until it is fairly thick and glossy. If the icing is too thick though, it will be hard to pipe. Take a quarter of the icing, put into a piping bag fitted with a No 2 (very small round) piping nozzle and set aside. To see step-by-step images, please see the tips, below left, for a link to our guide page.
- For the flood icing, add another 10ml lemon or lime juice to the remaining icing, a few drops at a time until it is pourable. You can now divide this icing into as many bowls as you like and colour by mixing in a little gel food colouring.
- Place the coloured icing into three piping bags, ready for decorating.
- To decorate the biscuits, use the thicker icing to draw your outline or design onto the biscuits. Let the icing set for a few minutes.
- Pipe enough runnier icing to cover the entire biscuit - don't worry about it being neat at this point. Use a toothpick to spread the icing evenly inside the hard icing 'wall'. If the surface of the icing isn't flat, gently shake the biscuit back and forth until you have a smooth covering.
- To add a simple dot decoration, while the icing is still wet, use the runnier icing again to pipe dots again - this will sink on, leaving you with a smooth effect. Pop the biscuits onto a baking tray and place into an oven at its lowest setting for about 30 mins to allow the icing to set hard.

- BISCUITS: Cream together the butter and sugar. Add the vanilla and egg, and mix again to combine. Sift the flour and baking powder together, and then add to the other ingredients. Mix again until just combined. Wrap in cling film and and rest in the fridge for at least 45 minutes. Preheat the oven to 200c / 180c fan Dust the work surface with plain flour. Roll out the dough to about 5mm thick. Cut our shapes as desired and transfer to a baking sheet with a palate knife. Bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges are just starting to brown. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.ROYAL ICING: Sift the icing sugar, meringue powder, and titanium dioxide into a bowl. Add your flavouring of choice, and then water, a little at a time. You want to aim for a '20 second icing', meaning that if you disturb the surface of the icing, it takes about 20 seconds to smooth over completely. This is the ideal consistency for piping lines and borders.
- ASSEMBLY: Use a No.2 icing tip, or cut a small hole in the end of a disposable piping bag, and pipe around the edges of the biscuit, forming a complete border. Leave to dry for 15 minutes, or until the surface has crusted over. Empty the icing back into a bowl, and use an electric whisk to beat it. The icing will stiffen. Add more water as you go. You want the final consistency to be '10 second icing', a little bit more flowing than the icing you used to pipe the borders. Using a No.3 tip, or cutting a slightly larger hole in a disposable piping bag, generously flood the inside of each biscuit with the icing. Leave to set up completely before decorating - at least 8 hours.
- DECORATING: Put a small blob of gel food colouring on a plate, and mix with a little vodka. Use this to paint designs on your biscuits. You will find that the biscuits really 'pop' when they have a black outline of royal icing. You will find it easier to achieve a true black colour if you add some sifted cocoa powder to your royal icing - you will need less black food colouring (which often doesn't taste nice) to achieve a good colour.
