Ingredients
225g Plain Flour(sifted)
115g Unsalted Butter(room temp)
75g Caster Sugar(can reduce another 10g if making icing cookies)
38g egg(just beat in a bowl and weigh out)
Pinch of salt
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Method:
1. Preheat oven @ 160 degrees.
In a bowl, using hand mixer/stand mixer beat the soften unsalted butter with caster sugar & salt till light yellow and fluffy.
2. Pour in beaten egg and mix till combined. Add in vanilla extract.
3. Mix in the sifted plain flour. Use a spatula to combine the ingredients together to form a dough.
4. Roll your dough into a silicone mat/baking paper, cut out shapes desired. Place on baking tray.
5. Bake 12-15 mins in preheated oven.
If u have fan forced oven, use fan mode.
For Rowenta Oven I use bottom heat fan mode, Unox only have fan mode. Can also use top and bottom heat but place ur tray at the centre of the oven.
Cool completely before storing in airtight container/sealer bag.
To make royal icing to decorate cookies see my Failproof Royal Icing Recipe.
*Different Ovens got different temperature, u need bake a few pcs to test ur oven heat. Different trays, baking paper, silicone mat, Teflon sheet also makes a difference to ur bakes, so try to know ur oven.
