Butter Cookies



Just baked these star-shaped butter cookies this afternooon. I had tried using my cookies cutters but the dough was too soft & stick to the cutters. So end up only this star cutter is able to hold the dough.



These cookies are meant for my son's good friend, Jx. Hope he is happy when got this surprise! No more tears okie?! Auntie Cherie, will bake more cookies & cakes for you okie? ;)

As per requested by Bluebo_Bear, this is the recipe which I had used for the above star-shaped butter cookies.

Recipe (Quoted: HugBear)

Ingredients
250 gm butter
130 gm icing sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla powder/essence
400 gm plain flour
1/2 tsp baking powder

Method
1. Cream the butter and icing sugar until creamy.
2. Add in eggs and vanilla powder. Beat well.
3. Fold in flour and baking powder.
4. Put mixture in a cookies mixer and press out different designs onto greased baking tray.
5. Bake at 160c for 20-25 mins.

My comments for this bake:
1) I find that the batter (mixture) is very soft, difficult to use cookie mould on it.
* Tips: Leave in fridge (not freezer) for 1/2 hr. Remember do not add more flour to it! Kaypo added extra flour last time, the cookies came out hard n inedible (to me lah!) heehee...
