Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas 4 and line 2 baking trays with greaseproof paper.
Put the butter and sugar into a bowl and beat together until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolk. Sieve in the flour and spices, add the orange zest and add in enough milk to make a fairly soft dough.
Roll out the dough approximately 5mm thick on a floured surface and cut out tree shapes with the cutter.
Bake for 15 minutes or until the biscuits are a pale-golden brown. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
A clean, new toothbrush is great for flicking colour onto your painted designs – drag your finger or thumb over the bristles for a fine speckled effect.
Your watercolour biscuits are now finished!
