Easter biscuit lollies

Description:
Have fun making these beautiful versatile gifts for the kids during Easter.

Main ingredients:
Dairy, Flour, Chocolate, Eggs, Sugar

Ingredients:
140g butter
100g light soft brown sugar
3 tbsp golden syrup
½ tsp vanilla extract
350g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 large egg
For the icing
Food colouring
1kg ready-to-roll icing
Icing sugar, for dusting
Chocolate sauce
Edible balls, or glitter

Method:
Preheat the oven to 200°C / 400°F / Gas mark 6.
Line 2 baking trays with greaseproof paper and set aside.
Melt the butter, sugar and syrup in a small saucepan.
Mix in the vanilla then remove from the heat and leave to cool for 10 mins.
Sieve the flour and bicarbonate of soda into a bowl.
Pour in the butter mixture, add the egg and stir together to form a dough.
Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to 5mm thick, then use a round cutter to for the biscuits.
Poke a lollipop stick into the bottom of each biscuit, then bake for 12 minutes until golden.
Add food colouring into lumps of fondant icing and knead.
Roll out on a surface lightly dusted with icing sugar, then use the cutter to cut out matching shapes.
Decorate the biscuit lollies with the icing and roll into the glitter or colourful edible balls.
If they are going to be made into gifts, gently wrap them in cellophane perhaps with a small ribbon to tie them off.
