Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 260 gm All-Purpose Flour
- 0.5 tsp Baking Powder
Wet Ingredients
- 135 gm Butter omit the salt in the recipe., softened to room temperature; if using salted butter, unsalted
- 120 gm Caster Sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Optional additions
- 0.25 tsp Salt only use if using unsalted butter.
- All-Purpose Flour as needed, for dusting the work surface.
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- Cream together the softened butter and sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes). Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Chill the Dough
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead a few times to bring it together. Divide the dough in half, wrap each half in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for easier handling.
Shape and Bake the Cookies
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll out each half of the chilled dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use a 2.5-3 inch cookie cutter to cut out the cookies. Place them onto the prepared baking sheets.
Bake and Cool
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Keep an eye on them, baking times can vary. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- Enjoy these delicious cookies as they are, or add a touch of elegance by sandwiching them with your favorite filling such as chocolate ganache, Nutella, or jam.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Crumbly Butter Cookies
- For extra flavour, add a teaspoon of almond extract or lemon zest to the dough.
- Don't overmix the dough, as this can make the cookies tough. Mix until just combined.
- Chill the dough thoroughly before cutting out the cookies; this helps prevent spreading during baking.
- If your cookies are browning too quickly, reduce your oven temperature slightly.
