Cream together the butter and sugar until light and creamy. Beat in the vanilla extract and egg, then add the flour. You should achieve a soft dough consistency. Divide the mixture into two.
Beat in a few drops of red food colour into one half and a few drops of green food colour into the second half. Shape each of the coloured dough balls into a flat rectangle shape and wrap in cling film. Place in the fridge to firm up slightly for 15-30 minutes.
Roll each piece of dough on a floured surface to the thickness of a £1 coin, keeping the rectangle shape and both the same size. Sit one on top of the other. Roll up lengthways like a long swiss roll and wrap in cling film. Chill to firm up in the fridge for 30 minutes or longer.
Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180ºC, fan 160ºC. Slice the dough into approximately 1cm thick pieces and sit each biscuit on a nonstick baking sheet. Generously scatter over sprinkles or silver balls and press lightly to stick. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes then cool on a wire rack.
