recipe

  • Step 1
    In a medium bowl, add the flour, baking powder & a pinch of salt. Stir together.
  • Step 2
    In another bowl, add the sugar & softened butter. Beat with a hand mixer or stand mixer for about 2-3 min.
  • Step 3
    Add the vanilla extract & eggs. Beat until combined for about 2 min.
  • Step 4
    Add the flour mixture in 2 batches. Mix on low speed until just combined. The dough will look crumbly.
  • Step 5
    Transfer the dough to a clean work surface. Shape the dough into a disk & wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hr. You can also freeze this dough & use it on a later date!
  • Step 6
    Preheat the oven to 160ºC. Remove the plastic wrap from the dough. On a flour dusted work surface, lay the dough with a bit of flour on both sides. Gently roll out the dough into a thin sheet of about 3-4mm thickness.
  • Step 7
    Using cookie cutters, cut out the desired shapes. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  • Step 8
    Place the cookies on a parchment paper lined sheet tray. Decorate with sprinkles (optional) or leave them plain. Bake for 15-18 min at 160ºC, until the cookies are light golden brown on the bottom.
  • Step 9
    Remove the cookies from the oven & place them on a wire rack to cool completely. Decorate with additional icing & sprinkles if desired. Enjoy !
