Method

Preheat oven to 180°C. In a food processor, mix the butter, vanilla, spices and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and mix to combine. Add the flour to make a firm dough. Chill for 15 minutes in the fridge.
Roll dough out to about 5mm thickness and cut into shapes with Christmas biscuit cutters. With a thick skewer, make a hole in the top of each biscuit large enough for a ribbon to be threaded.
Place on an oven tray and bake for 10-15 minutes, until lightly browned.
Once cooled, decorate biscuits with coloured icing and silver balls.
