INGREDIENTS

Cookies

• 120g (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened

• 230g (1 ¼ cups) caster sugar

• 1 large egg

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 380g (2 cups) all-purpose flour

• ½ tsp salt

• 2 tbs milk

Method

Cookies

Add cream, butter and sugar to a large bowl. Use an electric hand mixer to whip until light and fluffy.

Add eggs and mix until well combined.

Sift in the flour and salt and use a spatula to mix together until a dough forms. Split the dough into two and wrap in plastic. Chill for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 180C° (356F°).

Place a large piece of baking paper on your workbench. Add one half of the dough to it. Place another large piece of baking paper on top and use a rolling pin to roll out to ½ cm (.2 inches). Cut out cookies using desired cookie cutter shape. Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper about 5cm (2 inches) apart.

Bake the cookies for 10 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Allow to cool before serving or decorating.
