Ingredients:
1 egg
1 & 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) of butter
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla
Steps:
1. Pre-heat oven on 190° Celsius
2. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Add egg and vanilla.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.
4. Gently add the flour mixture on the large bowl and mix everything well.
5. Here is the fun part! Now that your cookie dough is ready, there are several ways that you can shape your cookies.
- Form the dough into log. Wrap in a plastic wrap. Chill for around four hours. Once chilled, slice the log and place it in you baking sheets.
- Use cookie cutter. When using cookie cutter, you need to roll the dough into a thin sheet. (It would be best if your dough is chilled too) Sprinkle flour on the thin dough then cut with cookie cutter then place the cookies in baking sheets.
- Use cookie press. Put the dough inside the cookie press (No need to chill the dough for this). Use different templates to press the cookie dough into baking sheets. You may need to read the instructions on how to use your cookie press though. :)
- Use piping bag. Put the dough into the piping bag. Use desired tip to create different shapes. Pipe the dough into baking sheets.
- Use you hands. Put a spoonful of dough in your hands and form into small balls. Place on baking sheets and press the top of the ball to flatten.
6. Now place the cookies in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the sides turn a bit golden. Allow to cool for a few minutes then transfer to racks to let it cool completely.
