vanila sugar cookies recipe


Vanilla sugar cookies:
Makes around 25-30 medium sized cookies.
(200 grams) of sugar
(OR 100 grams sugar and 100 grams of confectioners sugar)
2 large eggs.
1 tsp of vanilla.
(450 grams) of all-purpose flour, sifted.
(200 grams) of unsalted butter, diced.
Extra flour for kneading and rolling.
Step 1:
In a bowl or in the kitchen mixer with paddle attachment, mix the two types of sugar, vanilla and the egg. Add the flour and the butter and keep mixing just until the dough comes together.
Step 2:
Knead the dough lightly by hand on your flour dusted kitchen counter and wrap it well in cling film and put it in a plastic bag. Chill the dough for 2 hours.
- Always roll out the dough on a sheet of parchment paper lightly dusted with flour and set the oven to 325F (170C) when bake cookies and place the baking tray in the middle of the oven. Depending on size you bake them from 15-20 mins. You want them to be light golden brown without being raw in the middle.
