Butterflies and Fairy Dust

These were a fun biscuit to make with Lucy.  Miss Lucy enjoyed placing all the ingredients into the mixer and licking the spoon and telling me with enthusiasm "mmmmm, it's yummy!"

After lightly kneading, and allowing the cookie dough to rest for half an hour, I rolled it to about 3-4mm thick, cut the shapes, baked for approx 12 minutes. Once cooled, we iced the wings and added fairy dust sprinkles.

1 cup flour
