Vegan Christmas Biscuit Trees

Instructions

Cream the butter, maple syrup, vanilla and sugar together, sift in the flour and allspice and mix into a dough. Wrap in cling film and place in the refrigerator for half an hour.

Preheat the oven to 160C or 140C for fan assisted ovens and line a baking tray with baking paper.

On a clean work surface lightly dusted with flour, roll out the dough to approximately 1/2 cm thick and cut out large, medium and small star shapes.

Place on the baking sheet, sprinkle with sugar and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. You may want to turn the biscuits over half way through cooking.

Leave the biscuits to cool completely then begin building up your Christmas tree. Large stars should form the base of the tree, then medium and finally smaller stars. Use thick icing between each biscuit to hold the biscuits together and place a small star on top to finish.
