Both my boyfriend d and I absolutely adore butter cookies, especially the piped one sold by Cherikoff in Hong Kong. Although it is probably the simplest recipe ever existed, I have actually never attempted to bake any cookies.
Ingredients:
120g unsalted butter, cut into cubes
45g icing sugar
135g plain flour
2 tsp vanilla essence
Method:
1) Preheat oven to 180C. Line baking tray.
2) Cream butter and mix with icing sugar. Mix with flour followed by vanilla essence.
3) Place dough on tray. Bake for 12-15 minutes.
4) Allow cookies to cool. Done :)
Bench notes:
- I failed to get hold of any star-shaped pipe in Waitrose so I decided to make random shapes instead.
- This recipe actually tasted more like shortbread than butter cookies. Perhaps the ratio of butter to flour is not optimized? Anyway I like butter shortbread too :) Just they made me even feel more guilty...
