Vanilla Biscuits/Sugar Cookies – No Chill time needed
Simple ingredients: 1cup unsalted butter, 1 cup caster/superfine sugar (regular works too), 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract, 1 large egg, 3 cups all purpose flour, ¾ tsp baking powder, ¾ tsp salt
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 180*C/ 350*F, line baking sheets with parchment paper
- Beat butter and sugar in bowl until creamy
- Add egg and vanilla extract, beat until completely blended
- Add flour, baking powder and salt, mix slowly, then beat until flour is incorporated- it will be clumpy
- Dust work surface with flour, scrape dough out of bowl, pat together then cut in half, then shape into 2 discs.
- Roll out to 0.3cm/1/8 in (thinner, crispier cookies) or 0.6cm /1/4 in (thicker, softer cookies). Sprinkling with flour under & over the dough so it doesn’t stick
- Use cookie cutters to press out shapes, use a knife or spatula to transfer shapes to baking sheets. Keep dough that doesn’t fit in the oven in the fridge.
- Bake for 10 minutes, swapping trays half way until the surface is pale golden & edges are just beginning to turn light golden
- Allow cookies to cool completely on trays (they will finish cooking on the tray.
- Decorate however you like!
