A very happy collection of reindeer-shaped biscuits, perfect for nibbling over the Christmas holidays.

This recipes makes approximately 20 biscuits.

For the icing

In a bowl, mix the butter and sugar together with an electric blender, until they form a creamy paste. Add the eggs and egg yolks and mix, then fold in the almonds and flour with a wooden spoon or spatula until fully combined.
Press the mixture into a greased tray to a thickness of about ¼ inch (6mm). Place in a preheated oven at 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4 for 10-12 minutes.
The biscuit mixture is ready when it has just started to colour. Carefully turn out onto a sheet of baking parchment on a flat cool surface.
While still warm to touch, use a cookie cutter (an upside-down gingerbread man cutter looks just like a reindeer) to press out the shapes but don’t try to lift them out until completely cooled, or they’ll break.
For the icing, mix the butter and icing sugar together in a bowl, adding the milk as needed to make a smooth paste.
First, ice the biscuits all over with the plain icing, adding some edible glitter for a festive feel. Then add a little red food colouring to the remaining icing, spoon it into a piping bag and draw on the reindeer's shiny red nose.
