- 1 plastic wrap
- 1 baking trays
- 1 baking paper
- 1 rolling pin
- 1 5 or 6cm diameter cutter
- 1 metal spatula

Instructions
- Place butter and sugar in a food processor, whiz until combined. Add flour, bicarb and eggs and whiz again until the mixture starts to come together in a ball. If you have a small food processor, it might be better to use an electric mixer.
- Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
- Line two baking trays with baking paper.
- Lightly flour a surface and roll the dough out to 5mm thick.
- Cut out circles using a 5 or 6cm diameter cutter; use a metal slide/spatula to carefully lift onto prepared trays about 2cm apart.
- Repeat rolling, cutting and lifting until all dough is used.
- Bake for about 10 minutes until starting to colour.
- Remove from oven, cool slightly before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Match the biscuits into even size pairs, spread one with jam, sandwich together, spread the top with icing and dip in a bowl of sprinkles.
Notes
Tip
Kiss biscuits are a bit time consuming, but so much fun for the kids to help put together.
Tip
For the icing, you can either use the icing from a cupcake recipe (uncoloured) or make a simple icing with 2 cups icing sugar and 1-2 tablespoons water.
