INGREDIENTS

 

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

 

Makes about 30-40 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.
