Preheat your oven to 175 degrees (155 for fan oven) or equivalent
First, using an electric mixer, hand held or bowl, cream the butter and sugar together till light and fluffy.
Sieve in the flour and cornflour and pour in the vanilla, mix on low until just incorporated.
Flour your work surface and pop the shortbread mix onto it. Add the choc chips and knead lightly until pliable enough to roll out.
Re flour your work surface and with a rolling pin, roll out the dough to about a quarter inch thick.
Line a baking tray with baking paper. Cut out your rocket shapes and lay, spaced (har har) out onto the tray.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until just slightly golden around the edges. Take out of oven and leave to cool.
Spread the biscuits with a thin layer of the jam.
Dust your work surface with a little corn flour then roll out your colours and cut out to match the shapes in the photograph or you can alter them to look how ever you want. When iced, sprinkle with the edible glitter.
Kids will love these. I guess. I just like making stuff that looks cool.
Whoosh!
