These cookies are possibly one of my all time favourite treats. I've made them once before and was told they tasted a bit like the waitrose cookies, which is a massive compliment (I think) because I adore waitrose and anything they produce! They're really simple little cookies which don't require much ingredients or much time, making them perfect for if you have a sudden sweet craving or feel the need to whip up a batch of cookies for whatever reason. Furthermore, they solidify very well, making them great for tea dunking - which of course is what everyone worries about when they make cookies! They don't involve any chocolate or any overly unhealthy ingredients, but I would definitely not class these as healthy, mainly due to the fact that after one you will most likely be working your way through the rest of them!
These are such a safe option to go with for a little gift or if you have guests, with just a vanilla flavour and being so buttery and delicious, the majority of people will love them.
So here we go...
INGREDIENTS:
- 140g Caster Sugar
- 250g butter
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 1 egg yolk
- 300g plain flour
METHOD:
- Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 4/180 degrees celcius
- Blend the Caster sugar and butter together until combined and fluffy
- Pour in the egg yolk and vanilla extract, then stir.
- Next, sift in the flour to the mixture and combine to form a dough
- Line your baking tray with baking paper
- Place dessert spoon sized portions of the dough onto the tray, and gently push down with a fork
- Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes, making sure they do not turn golden brown, but are relatively firm yet still a little squidgy.
- Take them out and let them cool for about 5 minutes, then enjoy!
