Top tip: It's best if you make the dough the night before to allow it to rest. You can also roll out the dough, cut the shapes, and put them in a freezer for an hour. This ensures they keep their shape nicely.
After you decorate your biscuits and the icing is completely dry, you can loop a ribbon through the biscuits and then hang them on your Christmas Tree as decorations.
