Instruction tip
Vanilla extract is different to vanilla essence.
Method
Step 1 of 5
Beat butter and sugar in a bowl until pale and creamy. Beat in egg and vanilla extract. Stir in flour until well combined and dough forms. Wrap in plastic. Chill for 20 minutes.
Step 2 of 5
Preheat oven to 180°C. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
Step 3 of 5
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out until 4mm thick. Cut out 8cm-fluted rounds. Cut rounds in half and transfer to trays.
Step 4 of 5
Push 2 choc bits into biscuit halves for eyes. Sprinkle biscuits with a little sugar. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Step 5 of 5
Add drops of food colouring to frosting. Sandwich 2 biscuit halves together with frosting to resemble a shell. Repeat with remaining biscuit halves and frosting. Add fruit chews to frosting for pearls. Serve. Try this: To make chocolate shell biscuits, replace 1/4 cup of the flour with 1/4 cup cocoa. To make both flavours, divide dough in half and add 2 tbs cocoa to one portion.
