  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 225g butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups icing sugar

Method

For the chocolate Santa boots

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan bake). Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
  • In a bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl combine the softened butter and the icing sugar.
  • Beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the egg and vanilla essence and beat well until combined.
  • Gradually beat in the flour mixture.
  • Sprinkle some flour on your work surface and roll out the dough to about .5 cm.
  • Using a cookie cutter, cut the cookies out and carefully place them on the prepared tray.
  • Bake for 7–8 minutes.
  • Once the cookies are cool, microwave the white chocolate for 1 minute, then stir. Keep doing this in 20-second intervals until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  • Dip the top of each biscuit in the chocolate and then into the coconut.
  • Leave to set.
