Ingredients

Scale

150g Butter (unsalted, softened)

150g Caster Sugar

1 Large free range egg

1.5 tsp Vanilla Extract

300g Plain White Flour

Instructions

1. Cream the butter and sugar in a bowl until soft and creamy.

2. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

3. Sift the flour into the mixture and work it with your hands until a dough forms.

4. Flatten the dough into a disc, wrap in cling film, and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.

5. Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan) and roll dough on a floured surface to 0.5cm thickness.

6. Cut shapes with a 7cm cutter and place on a lined baking sheet.

7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden, then cool on a wire rack.

Notes

Ensure your butter is truly softened at room temperature for the best creamed texture.

Chilling the dough is essential to prevent spreading.
