1
Sift together all the ingredients.
-
2
Cream the butter, then add the sugar and mix.
-
3
Once combined, add the egg yolk and salt and mix.
-
4
Add the Step 1 dry ingredients to the butter mix all at once, and gently fold in with a rubber spatula.
-
5
Do not knead or over-mix.
-
6
Once the dough has come together like in the picture, form it into a single ball by pressing it together with your hands.
-
7
Once formed into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and leave to rest in the fridge for about 1 hour.
-
8
Set the oven to 180C.
-
9
Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to a 3-5mm thickness.
-
10
As this dough is quite soft, sandwiching it between two sheets of cling film makes the rolling process easier.
-
11
Cut out cookies in whatever shapes you like.
-
12
If the cookies are difficult to lift up, you can make things easier by sticking your finger underneath the plastic wrap, and lifting the cookie up with your finger.
-
13
Wrap up the remaining dough in plastic wrap, and repeat Steps 6-8.
-
14
Place the cookies in the preheated oven set to 180C, and bake for 10-12 minutes.
-
15
Once they have finished baking, cool the cookies on a cooling rack.
-
16
These cookies are soft when they come out of the oven, so be careful when transferring them.
-
17
Once the cookies have cooled, sprinkle with icing sugar, and they're done.
