Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 C/ 350 F
- In a food processor mix the butter, sugar, and vanilla until smooth
- Add the flour, egg, and egg yolk and process until the mixture forms a soft dough
- Take the dough out of the processor and knead slightly bringing it together in a ball. Wrap it in cling film and place it in the fridge for 30 minutes
- Roll the dough out between 2 sheets of baking paper or on a lightly floured surface until about ½ cm / 5mm thick
- Cut the dough into shapes approximately 7cm (or as desired). Ensure the sizes are similar when baking in each batch.
- Place the dough rounds on a baking sheet that has been lined with baking paper or silicone baking sheets
- Bake for 10 – 12 minutes until golden brown (check at 10 minutes). Rotate the pan halfway through the cooking time to ensure an even baking and if necessary.
- Remove the biscuits carefully from the baking tray and allow them to cool on a wire cooling rack as they have a tendency to carry over cooking on the tray and could turn too brown once removed from the oven.
- When cooled, dust them with some icing sugar or decorate them as desired.
Notes
- These biscuits can be made in advance and stored in an air-tight container.
- These biscuits are delicious and eaten as is but make a perfect canvas to decorate.
