Ingredients

Step by step
Get ahead
These will keep for up to a week in a cake tin.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas 4. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
- Put the butter, icing sugar, flour, ground almonds and almond extract in a food processor and blend until combined and starting to clump together. Turn out onto a work surface and gather into a ball, then wrap in clingfilm and chill for 20-30 minutes.
- Lightly dust the work surface with flour and roll out the biscuit dough to about the thickness of a pound coin and cut out the boots. Re-roll the trimmings as needed.
- Put the sprinkles on a plate, then press the boots into the sprinkles. Arrange on the baking trays and bake for 9-10 minutes until just golden around the edges. Leave to cool and crisp up on the trays. Decorate with writing icing and more sprinkles if you wish.
