Ingredients
- 250 grams butter soften
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 egg yolks save the whites for the royal icing
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups plain flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
ROYAL ICING
- 2 egg whites
- 500 grams icing sugar
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180ºc. Line two baking trays with baking paper.
- Cream butter and sugar in a cake mixer until pale and fluffy.
- Add in the egg yolks and vanilla then mix to combine.
- Add the flour and baking powder and mix to a firm dough.
- Sprinkle the bench with flour and roll out a portion of the dough to about 5mm, I normally use a good handful of dough at a time.
- Using your chosen cookie cutters cut out the shapes and gently lift the cut cookie dough onto the baking tray with a fish slice.
- Bake for 10 -15 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and leave to cool for 5 minutes on the tray then transfer to a wire rack.
To Make The Royal Icing
- Whisk the egg whites with a cake mixer (with whisk attachment) or handheld mixer, until light and frothy.
- Gradually add in the icing sugar then add the lemon juice.
- Beat at high speed until thick, fluffy and shiny.
- Then decorate!
