smooth dough. Shape into a circle then wrap in cling fi lm and chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.
Lightly fl our a board and roll out the dough until it’s about 3mm thick. Cut out 8 biscuits either freehand or using a 7cm cutter, rerolling the dough as necessary. Transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheets and chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.
4 Bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden. Cool on a wire rack.
5 To make the icing, whisk half the icing sugar in a bowl with the egg white. Continue to add the icing sugar, a spoonful at a time, until it’s all mixed in. Whisk well for 5-10 minutes until the mixture is thick.
6 Put a heaped tablespoon of icing into a dish and set aside. Dip a cocktail stick into the food colouring and stir into the rest of the icing. Whish well to incorporate the colour
completely. Add more colouring until you have the desired shade.
7 Spoon one-third of the pink icing into the piping bag fi tted with a 1-2mm round nozzle. Pipe around the edge of the biscuit to create a raised border. Spoon more of the pink icing into the middle of the biscuit and use the back of a spoon to fl ood inside the border.
8 Use a cocktail stick to place small dots of white icing around the edges, or all over, the pink icing on the biscuit, then drag a clean cocktail stick from top to bottom of each dot to create heart shapes. Allow to set while you decorate the remaining biscuits in the same way.
9 Store in an airtight container and enjoy within 5 days.
