Munch-Crunch Cookies

Sweet, buttery vanilla cookies…sounds good huh?

Using a very simple recipe  from The Commonsense Cookery Book, I armed myself with my newly purchased Jamie Oliver Cookie Stamper and baked away!

Vanilla Cookies!

Here is the recipe I used taken from The Commonsense Cookery Book.

Basic Biscuit Recipe (Vanilla)

Ingredients:

• 125g butter or margarine
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla essence or extract
• 1 egg
• 2 cups plain flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• egg or milk for glazing (optional)

To make:

• Preheat oven to 150-160C and prepare a few cookie pans with grease proof paper
• Cream together the butter, sugar and vanilla
• Beat the egg slowly into the mixture until combined
• Add sifted flour and baking powder and mix into a soft dough
• Place dough on a floured board, knead lightly
• Divide mixture into two. Roll out one half and cut out circles/shapes with cookie cutters
• Place shapes onto the pre-prepared cookie pans – brush on glazing
• Repeat process with remaining dough
• Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes or until very light brown
• Allow to cool on the pan.
• Eat!
