Step 1
Line two baking trays with baking paper. Make sure these trays can fit in your fridge or freezer.
Step 2
Using a wooden spoon or spatula, beat together the butter and caster sugar in a large bowl until smooth.
TOP TIP: Don’t cream the butter as if you were making a cake or the biscuits will be very bubbly on top and more likely to spread!
Step 3
Next, using a hand or electric whisk, whisk in the vanilla extract. Add the flour and use a spatula to mix into a smooth dough.
TOP TIP: You can use your hands to help mix the flour into the dough.
Step 4
Now flour your surface. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough until it's about the thickness of a pound coin (or a euro - for Eurovision!)
Step 5
Once rolled out, using your cookie cutter, stamp out your heart/flag shaped biscuits and transfer to your lined baking trays. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or in the freezer for 10 minutes.
Step 6
With the help of an adult, preheat your oven to 180 degrees or gas mark 6. Bake your biscuits for 8-10 minutes or until a pale golden colour.
TOP TIP: Remember the smaller biscuits will bake more quickly. Pop onto a wire rack to cool completely before icing.
