Butter Cookies


I made these with my very own recipe. Its a really quick and simple recipe. You can make the dough and keep it in the refrigerator for the next few days if you're too lazy to finish baking everything. Just let it thaw for a while when you take it out of the refrigerator.

Here's the recipe...

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup(225 gm) salted butter(soften)
1/2 cup icing sugar
1/2 cup caster sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Beat the butter till it is smooth and then add the sugar and beat for another 1-2mins. Add the vanilla extract. Add the flour bit by bit.
Wrap the dough with a plastic wrap and refrigerate it for an hour/more.

When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 180 deg Celsius. Roll the dough on a floured surface. Use cookies cutters to cut out the shapes you want:) Try to be as quick as possible. If your cookies turn soft or it goes out of shape easily, put them back in the refrigerator for another 5-10mins.

Bake for 8-10mins.
