Honey Star Cookies

Ingredients

• 75g (3oz) butter or margarine, softened
• 100g (4oz) caster sugar
• 1 tbsp set honey
• 1 medium size egg, beaten
• 200g (7oz) plain flour
• 25g (1oz) Dr. Oetker Cornflour
• 2 x 125g packs yellow Dr. Oetker Ready to Roll Coloured Icing

To decorate

• Dr. Oetker Silver Balls
• Dr. Oetker Black Writing Icing

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC/ 350ºF/ Gas Mark 4. Line 2 large baking trays with greaseproof paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat together the butter, sugar and honey until light and creamy. Stir in the egg.
3. Sieve in the flour and Cornflour, then mix together to form a medium/firm dough; wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
4. Turn on to a lightly floured surface and knead gently until smooth. Roll to a thickness of 6mm (¼  inch). Cut out 20 x 7cm (3 ½ inch) star shapes, re-rolling the dough as necessary. Place on the baking sheets and bake for about 15 minutes until firm and lightly golden, then set aside to cool on a wire rack.
5. To decorate, roll out the yellow Ready to Roll Coloured Icing thinly on a surface lightly dusted with icing sugar. Cut out 20 star shapes, slightly smaller than the cookies. Gently press on top of each cookie, and stud with Silver Balls. Pipe with Writing Icing and allow to set before serving.
