Easter Cookie Recipe

Ingredients, to make 10-12 shortbread cookies

• 6 oz (180 g) flour, sifted.
• 4 oz (120 g) butter, at room temperature
• 2 oz (60 g) caster sugar

Preparation:

1. Beat together butter and sugar until creamy and smooth.
2. Stir in flour until mixture is combined.
3. Turn out mixture onto a floured surface, and use your hands to clump the mixture together into a mound. Roll out until 1 cm thick (just under 1/2 in). For a lovely light and crumbly texture, don't over-handle your dough.
4. Cut out your bunny-shaped cookies (or what ever shape you have on hand!) and place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Refrigerate for 20 minutes or so.



5. Pre-heat your oven to 325°F/160°C. Bake cookies for 15-20 minutes, until they are just starting to turn golden.
6. Cool on a wire rack and store in an air-tight container.
