5. Crush the candies inside their wrappers with a rolling pin.

6. Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it is 0.5cm thick. Then cut them out using cookie cutters in different Christmas shapes. Place the cookies on oven trays with baking paper underneath.

7. Cut out shapes inside each cookie, making sure you leave a nice border. Fill the hole in the cookies with the crushed candies.

8. Make a hole in the top of the cookie with a straw so you can put the bow through. Put the cookies in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown.

9. Take the cookies out of the oven. While they are hot, check that the holes are still there, if not, put the straw back in. Don't move the cookies from the tray until they have cooled because the caramel needs to harden. Once they are warm, carefully place the cookies on a rack so that they finish cooling evenly on all sides.

10. Decorate the cookies with the white icing, put the ribbons through the holes in the cookies so you can hang them from the Christmas tree.
