Preheat your oven to 180C (350F).

Cream butter and sugar in your food processor. Add golden syrup or honey and whizz to combine.

Fold in flour until just combined.

Roll out on a piece of baking paper until about 5mm (1/4in) thick. Cut out star shapes and place on a tray lined with baking paper (you’ll need 2 trays or do it in batches).

Bake for 7-8 minutes or until lightly browned. Using a skewer, make a hole in each cookie while they are still warm. Cool on the tray.

Combine icing sugar with 2 tablespoons boiling water to make the icing. Pipe onto cool stars to decorate. Allow to the icing to set.
