Cinnamon Holly Biscuits

I think I got this recipe out of the Australian Women's Weekly magazine. These are a delicious and rather fancy looking Christmas themed biscuit.
Ingredients:
2 cups self raising flour
90g butter, at room temperature (or use margarine or a "soft" butter).
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup golden syrup (you could try using treacle if golden syrup is not available, but the results will differ).
1 egg, lightly beaten
mint leaves (the lollie kind), red mini M&M's/glace cherries/jaffas.
2 1/2 cups pure icing sugar
100ml lemon juice

Method:
1. Place flour, butter and cinnamon in a food processor. Process until combined. Add sugar, syrup and egg until mixture comes together. Turn dough onto a floured board. Knead until smooth. Wrap in plastic and chill for 30 mins.
2. Preheat oven to 180 C (350F). Lightly grease and line baking trays.
3. Roll dough out in two portions, between 2 sheets of baking paper until 5mm thick. Using a 6cm round fluted cutter, cut rounds from dough. Repeat with remaining dough until all dough is used.
4. Place rounds onto prepared trays. Bake 8-10 mins, until firm. Cool on trays.
5. To make icing: Combine icing sugar and juice until a thick paste forms. Spread over cold biscuits.
6. Arrange mint leaves and mini M&M's onto wet icing to form holly. When set, store in an airtight container, layering between baking paper.
***I used my largest scone cutter, as I found the mint leaves are quite large. Glace cherries are a lovely, glossy red for the holly berries. Jaffas are also good but you may need to chop them in half.***
