These Christmas tree decoration biscuits are lightly spiced and deliciously crisp. They look great on the tree and are equally good for eating! The dough is a dream to work with, even on warm days.

Method
Preheat oven to 190°C bake. Line 2-3 large baking trays with baking paper.
Cream Tararua Butter, Chelsea Caster Sugar and vanilla together until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg.
Sift Edmonds Standard Grade Flour, rice flour, Edmonds Baking Powder, cinnamon and mixed spice into butter mixture and mix with a spatula until well combined.
If dough is quite soft, chill for 30 minutes before using (usually only necessary in very warm weather).
Take a large piece of the dough and roll out between two pieces of baking paper to 4-5mm thick. Use cookie cutters to cut into desired shapes. Carefully transfer to one of the prepared trays. If using the biscuits as Christmas tree decorations, use a straw to cut a hole near the top of each biscuit, for threading ribbon through. You may need to blow through the end of the straw to remove the dough! Bake for 10-12 minutes, until lightly golden and crisp. Repeat to use up remaining dough.
Cool biscuits on trays for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
ICING : Place egg white in a medium-large bowl and whisk vigorously with a fork until frothy. Sift in Chelsea Icing Sugar, then add lemon juice and mix with a spatula until you have a thick pipeable icing. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a small round piping tip and decorate cooled biscuits.
Once icing has hardened, thread colourful ribbons through the top of each biscuit and hang on the Christmas tree.
