Vanilla Snap Biscuits

 

A yummy cookie that is not only easy to make but delicious, and pretty.

INGREDIENTS

¾ cup butter

1 cup caster sugar

1 ½ tsp vanilla extract

2 ½ cups flour

1 egg

1 egg yolk

icing sugar to dust optional or decorate with icing

 

Prepare the oven to 180 C (350 F).

With a food processor, combine butter, sugar, and vanilla until creamy.

Add the flour, egg, and egg yolk then pulse till the mixture becomes a soft dough.

Remove the dough from the machine and knead it gently to form a ball. Wrap it in cling film and set it in the fridge for thirty minutes.

Roll the dough on a surface that has been lightly floured or between two pieces of baking paper till about ½ cm / 5mm thickness. Slice the dough into roughly 7 cm circles.

Set the dough rounds on a baking pan coated with baking paper or silicone sheets for baking.

Cook for ten to twelve minutes til golden brown.

Retrieve the biscuits gently from the baking pan & cool on a wire cooling rack since they frequently overcook and get overly brown following their removal from the oven. 

Once cold, sprinkle them with icing sugar or decorate as preferred.
