Recipe Hints and Tips
It is important to use butter which has been softened. If the butter is too firm, it will take longer to combine with the caster sugar.
This dough can be made up to two days in advance and stored in the fridge until required.
In the lead up to Christmas you will find packs of Christmas M&M's at your local supermarket. Alternatively, you can pick out the red and green M&M's from a regular pack.
Gently push the M&M's down into the dough, this will slightly flatten the biscuits.
To store, place in an airtight container for up to one week. In warmer climates the biscuits may begin to soften after 3 -4 days.
Both the uncooked dough and baked biscuits can be frozen for up to two months.
