Butter! Its either you love it or hate it for some reasons. The great things about this butter cookie recipe are easy to made and the cookies taste sweet, buttery, extremely crumbly, light and airy. A good choice for gifts or snacks during TV.
INGREDIENTS
400g cake flour
200g salted butter at room temperature
150g brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 egg white, mix with 2 tsp water
1/4 tsp baking powder
Some castor sugar for sprinkling
METHOD
1. Sift the cake flour and baking powder into a bowl, mix well and set aside.
2. In a big mixing bowl, mix the butter and sugar until well combined. You can either use a electric hand mixer or a whisk to do this. If you are using whisk, just make sure that the butter is melted and soft completely. I use whisk to avoid messy cleaning later.
3. In a small bowl, crack the egg and add in the vanilla essence. Stir well and pour into the butter-sugar mixture earlier.
4. Add the flour half at a time into the liquid mixture and mix lightly until it forms a mass. Using your hands, knead the dough until it become smooth.
5. Divide the dough into 4 portions and chill in the fridge for about 15 minutes for easier cutting.
6. While waiting for the dough, lay two pans with baking paper and preheat the oven to 180 Celcius.
7. Now, roll the dough on a lightly floured surface to a 5mm thickness. Using your desired cookie cutter, cut out the cookie and place it onto the lined baking pan earlier. Repeat with the rest of the dough until you have all the cookies cut out. I made about 120 cookies using my teddy bear shape cookie cutter ;-)
8. Brush the top of the cookies with the egg white and sprinkle with some sugar.
9. Bake the cookies for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
10. Cool the cookies on a wire rack and store in an air-tight container.
