Hello everyone!
I recently made some Christmas butter cookies and in this post I am sharing the recipe with you,
Butter cookies
Ingrdients
125g softened butter
1/2 cup caster sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
2 cups plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon milk
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180 degrees and line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
Step 2
Beat butter, sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer in a small bowl until pale and creamy. Add egg and mix well until well combined. Sift flour and baking powder over butter mixture. Add milk and stir until just combined.
Step 3
Roll the mixture into balls and place them on baking trays. Flatten them with the heel of you hand. Space them out so there is room for the cookies to spread.
Step 4
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, swapping trays over in the oven after 10 minutes, or until light golden. Allow the cookies to cool on trays for 5 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool.
Normally I don't put frosting on cookies but this time I did.
Vanilla Buttercream Frosting
Ingredients
3 cups Icing sugar
1/3 cup softened butter
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 or 2 teaspoons milk
Step 1
In a medium bowl, mix the icing sugar and butter with a spoon or electric mixer on low speed. Stir in the vanilla and 1 tablespoon of milk.
Step 2
Gradually beat in a little more milk to make the frosting smooth and spreadable. If the frosting is too thick, beat in more milk, a few drops at a time. If it becomes too thin, beat in a small amount of icing sugar.
Step 3
Decorate the cookies with whatever you want to. I used red and green sprinkles and candy cane bits I got from Woolworths.
I hope all of you are enjoying this festive season!
