In a separate bowl sift together the flour, salt and baking powder. Add this to the other bowl, stir together to form a stiff dough (it may be a bit sticky) wrap in clingfilm and put in the fridge for an hour. Half the mix, keep the other half in the fridge. Roll out thinly, (dust with flour to avoid sticking) cut out shapes, bake on a non stick tray for 8-10 mins. Cool on a rack. Keep repeating this until all the dough is used. This mixture will freeze and keep well. Now you are ready to decorate, sift the icing sugar and mix with 3tbsp of hot water, add colour as desired, put on sprinkles if you wish. Instead of icing you could use chocolate or buttercream or layer up the biscuits (cookies) with cream and strawberries. Eat and enjoy. The cookies/biscuits are quite sweet, do not eat them all at once – but enjoy. Adapted from Nigella Lawson.
