Chocolate and Cinnamon Biscuits

Mix together the flour, confectioner's sugar, dark chocolate chips, and cinnamon in a large bowl

Add the softened butter or margarine, cut into small pieces, and mix with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs

Add the lightly beaten egg and mix well

Shape into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until firm enough to be opened

Open the dough and roll out one-third of it to about 1/8 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface

Cut into shapes with a cookie cutter or a star-shaped knife and place on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between each biscuit

Bake in a preheated moderate oven (180°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until firm

Remove from the baking sheet and let cool

Decorate to taste

Store in an airtight container

Yields 120 biscuits.
