1. Tip the icing sugar, vanilla extract, egg yolk and butter into a mixing bowl, and stir them together with a wooden spoon. Add the flour and mix to a firm dough. Shape the dough into two flat discs and wrap in clingfilm. Chill for 20-30 minutes. Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5 and line two baking sheets with non-stick baking paper.
2. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured board to about the thickness of two one pound coins. Cut out your shapes and place on the baking sheets. Using the tip of a skewer, cut a small hole in the top of each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden.
3. Lift the biscuits onto a wire rack to cool. Meanwhile, mix the icing sugar with a few drops of cold water to make a thick, but still runny icing. Colour with edible food colouring, if you like. Spread it over the cooled biscuits, decorate with edible balls and thread with ribbon when dry.
