Cook: 15 - 20 minutes

Serves: 4 - 6

The white chocolate buttons behind the biscuit represent the Israeli hostages who numbered more than 200 at the time of baking.

To create the cookie you’ll need to cut out two equilateral triangles of 3cm x 25cm from baking parchment. One for the cookie and one for the icing. I decorated mine with a cookie-shaped menorah covered with icing pens for the flames.

Method:

Ingredients

180g butter or margarine softened

180g caster sugar

25g vanilla sugar

2 large eggs

425g plain flour plus extra for rolling

1 ½ tsp baking powder

To decorate:

500g white fondant icing

250g icing sugar

Icing sugar for rolling

Blue food colouring

Blue confectionary laces/blue sour sticks (optional)

A piping bag

Edible icing pens
