Ingredients:
1 3/4th cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 egg
1/2 cup butter,room temp
3/4 cup sugar
pinch of salt
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.Prepare a baking tray with parchment paper/foil.
- Sift salt,flour and baking powder and keep aside.Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy,approx 3 mins.Add vanilla and egg and combine well.Add the flour mixture,mix until well combined.Refrigerate dough covered with a plastic wrap for an hour until firm enough to roll.
- Remove half of the chilled dough from the refrigerator and on a lightly floured surface,roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch.Keep turning the dough as you roll.Cut out desired shapes using a lightly floured cookie cutter and transfer cookies to the baking tray.
- Place the baking tray with the unbaked cookies in the refrigerator for 10-15 mins to chill.This prevents the cookies from spreading and losing shape while baking.Sprinkle sugar just before putting into the oven to bake.Or frost with royal icing.
- Bake for about 10 mins till the edges are slightly toasted or till done.
- Cool on a wire rack.The cookies will harden.Repeat with remaining dough.
- Cool completely.Store in airtight container.
