- 80 g macadamias chopped
Icing
- 1 cup CSR pure icing sugar
- 25 ml milk

Step 1Pre-heat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Place butter and sugars into the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat until pale and creamy. Add egg, mixing until well combined.

Step 2Fold in combined flour and spice alternately with the fruit mince until well combined. Remove bowl from machine and fold in chopped nuts with a spoon.

Step 3Roll tablespoonfuls of mixture into small balls and flatten slightly onto lined oven trays. Bake for 16 minutes until golden. Transfer to a cooling rack.

Step 4For icing, whisk together the icing sugar and milk until smooth. Allow to sit for several minutes to thicken slightly if required. Dip a fork into icing and drizzle over the biscuits. Allow to set before packaging into gift boxes, or storing in an airtight container.
Recipe Notes
Use pre-bought fruit mince.
Substitute fruit mince for your own combination of dried fruits soaked in a little orange juice, or brandy overnight.
Add some chopped chocolate, or almonds in place of the macadamias.
