Ingredients

  • 100 gms unsalted butter

  • 50 gms powdered sugar

  • 150 gms all purpose flour

  • Pinch of salt

Directions

  • In a large bowl, whisk the sugar and butter together until smooth and combined.
  • Add the flour in two parts. Fold it into the dough with a spatula. Add the salt and mix well. You could form it into a ball with your hands.
  • Flour your work surface and roll out the dough to half an inch thickness. The dough will be slightly sticky but this is normal.
  • Using a circular cutter, cut out discs and lay it on a baking sheet.
  • Bake at 150°C for 15-17 minutes or until the cookies are a pale golden colour. Let it cool completely.
  • If you do wish to use these cookies as a cookie sandwich, you could stuff them with nutella/peanut butter with chocolate chips etc. Enjoy!
