πŸͺ 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
πŸͺ 1 cup (198g) white sugar
πŸͺ 1 egg
πŸͺ 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
πŸͺ 1Β½ teaspoons baking powder
πŸͺ Β½ teaspoon salt
πŸͺ 3 cups (390g) all-purpose flour

✨ Method

πŸͺ Prepare

Preheat oven to 180Β°C bake. Line two baking trays with baking paper and set aside.

πŸͺ Mix

Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, approximately 2 minutes. Add the egg, vanilla, baking powder and salt, mixing until smooth and combined.

πŸͺ Create the dough

Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add the flour, mixing only until the dough just comes together. Finish with a spatula to gently fold and press the dough together until fully combined.

πŸͺ Roll & cut

Divide dough in half and roll one portion at a time to approximately ¼ inch thick. Use your magical cookie cutters to create your favourite sweet little shapes ✨ Place cookies onto prepared trays, leaving space between each cookie.

πŸͺ Bake

Bake until cookies look set and feel slightly firm to the touch while still pale in colour.

Standard bake: 10–12 mins Fan bake: 7 mins

Allow cookies to cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

✨ Makes approximately 25–30 medium-sized cookies ✨
