Sugar Cookie Recipe

• 250g Salted Butter: Make sure it’s at room temperature for the best results.

• 1 Cup Caster Sugar: Adds the perfect amount of sweetness.

• 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract: For that classic vanilla flavor.

• 2 Eggs: Helps bind the dough together.

• 3 Cups Plain Flour: The foundation of our cookies.

1. Preheat Your Oven: Set the oven to 180°C (350°F) to ensure it’s ready for baking.

2. Cream the Butter and Sugar: Beat the room temperature butter with the caster sugar until the mixture is white and creamy.

3. Add Vanilla Extract: Mix in the vanilla extract for a delicious flavor.

4. Incorporate Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

5. Gradually Add Flour: Mix in one cup of plain flour at a time until fully incorporated.

6. Form the Dough: Lightly flour your bench, transfer the mixture, and gently knead until the dough comes together. Avoid overworking it!

7. Chill the Dough: Divide the dough into two balls, wrap them in cling wrap, and slightly flatten each ball. Refrigerate for at least 1.5 hours.

8. Roll and Cut: On a floured surface, roll the dough to a 2 cm thickness. Cut out shapes and place them on a lined baking tray.

9. Bake: Bake the cookies for 14 minutes. The quicker you cut and bake them, the better they will hold their shape.

10. Cool and Decorate: Allow the cookies to cool completely before decorating.
