Step-by-step

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4.
  2. Beat the Stork and both sugars together until creamy, then mix in the egg. Add the spice and flour, and mix to make a firm dough.
  3. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 2-3 mm (1/16in - 3/32in) and stamp out biscuits using Easter cookie cutters.
  4. Transfer to baking sheets that have been lined with non-stick parchment and bake for 8–10 minutes until pale golden. Leave to cool on the tray for 1-2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool completely.
  5. Decorate the biscuits with coloured icing and dust with a few sprinkles. Leave to set, then store in an airtight container until ready to eat.
