- Roll out the dough to a 5mm thickness and then cut out desired shapes. Bring together remaining dough and roll out again. Repeat until you have used up all your dough.
- Place the shapes on lined baking sheets and bake in the oven for 12-15 min until light brown. Cool on a wire rack.
- Meanwhile, sift the icing sugar into a bowl and add the water and stir until you have a thick but spreadable, smooth icing. Divide into bowls and then colour with the food colouring.
