Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate larger bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness, then use Christmas-themed cookie cutters to cut out shapes.
Using a straw or toothpick, make a small hole in the top of each cookie for hanging. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden around the edges. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cookies are cooling, make the icing by mixing together the confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. If you want to add some color, divide the icing into separate bowls and add food coloring as desired. Once the cookies are completely cooled, use a piping bag or small spoon to decorate them with the icing.
After the icing has set, thread a string or ribbon through the hole in each cookie and tie a knot at the top. Now you have delicious and festive hanging biscuits to decorate your Christmas tree with. They also make for great gifts, simply wrap them in clear cellophane bags and tie with a ribbon. Enjoy!
This Christmas hanging biscuits recipe is a fun and creative way to add a personal touch to your holiday decorations. With just a few simple steps, you can create delicious and festive treats that will be a hit with everyone. So gather your loved ones, put on some holiday music, and get baking! Happy holidays!
