Recipe:
Beat the butter and sugar until creamy. Stir in the egg until it’s combined.

Preheat the oven to 180˚C. Sprinkle some flour on the surface, roll out the dough to about 5mm thick.
Cut out shapes with cookie cutters and place them on a lightly greased baking tray, leaving a little space between each.
Bake for 12 minutes until golden.
Cool on a wire rack to decorate as desired.
Mix the icing sugar with a few drops of cold water to make a thick, but still runny icing.
Spread it over the cooled cookies, decorate with edible balls when dry.
