Foam Biscuits (Cookies) By Brianne'S Nanna - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 cups plain flour
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 cup butter (softened)
1/2 cup plain flour (spare for rolling dough)
Icing
2 cups icing sugar
1 tablespoon butter (softened)
2 -3 tablespoons milk (use enough to make icing easy to spread but not runny)
2 drops food coloring
candy sprinkles (optional)

Preparation

Heat oven to 200c.
Line 2 baking trays with silicone paper.
In a saucepan mix together sugar and milk and bring to a boil.
Shake gently so sugar does not stick to the bottom.
Add baking soda & let it cool.
In a large mixing bowl combine flour & cinnamon.
Rub butter into the flour.
Once it is all rubbed in & there are no big lumps - add the milk mixture and mix well.
Put lots of flour on the surface you are going to roll the mixture on to prevent sticking.
Use about 1/4 of the mixture at a time - roll the dough thinly & use cookie cutter to cut out shapes.
Place on lined baking tray & bake until golden.
Allow to cool slightly on tray & use spatula to transfer to a baking rack to cool.
Once they are cool they can be iced and dipped in sprinkles.
To make icing - combine 1 tablespoon of the milk with the butter, food colour & icing sugar - then gradually add enough milk to get the correct consistency.
