Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 11

200g salted butter
200g golden caster sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
375g plain flour
Mikado sticks (about 20)
200g milk chocolate
50g white ready-to-roll icing
25g each of black, red and green ready-to-roll icing
a ruler
lolly sticks , soaked in water (16-20)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and prepare two lined baking trays. Beat the butter and sugar together until combined then beat in the egg and vanilla. Add all of the flour and mix into a soft dough. If the dough is very soft, chill for 15 mins before shaping. You can freeze the cookie dough for a later date, but defrost thoroughly before baking.
  • Roll the dough into log shapes about 1.5cm-2cm in diameter, then cut into pieces 15cm long (using the ruler to measure).
  • Insert a soaked lolly stick into each biscuit as well as a piece of Mikado for an arm on each side. Place on the baking trays evenly spread apart.
  • Bake for 15-20 min until golden brown, but do check after 15 mins as all ovens vary. Transfer onto a wire rack to cool.
  • Break the milk chocolate into pieces and melt in a bowl set over gently simmering water, or in short bursts in the microwave. Once the biscuits are cool, use a pastry brush to gently paint the chocolate all over the back of each stick, going a little around the sides and on the back of the Mikados.
  • Once set, flip the sticks over and paint the fronts, then leave for 30 mins to completely set.
  • Mould little pieces of the icing to create his leafy coif, goggle eyes and mouth. Stick them on using a little of the leftover melted chocolate.
