Ingredients
150g Butter (unsalted, softened)
150g Caster Sugar
1 Large free range egg
1.5 tsp Vanilla Extract (Nielsen-Massey recommended)
300g Plain White Flour
Instructions
1. Put the butter and sugar in a bowl and beat with an electric beater until soft and creamy. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
2. Sift the flour into the creamed mixture then bring together with your hands until a dough forms.
3. Flatten into a disc, wrap in cling film, and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
4. Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan/Gas Mark 4). Roll dough on a floured surface to 0.5cm thick.
5. Cut out biscuits using a 7cm cutter and place on a lined baking sheet. Re-roll trimmings to use all dough.
6. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden. Cool on the tray slightly before moving to a wire rack.
Notes
For a glossy finish, use glace icing once the biscuits are completely cool.
Store in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
You can freeze the raw dough for up to 2 months.
