Ingredients:
2 1/2 Cups Plain flour
½ Teaspoon of Vanilla
½ Cup castor sugar
180g butter, chopped
Method:
Use an electric mixer to cream the butter, sugar and vanilla together. Sift the flour then use your fingers to rub the flour into the butter mixture to form a smooth dough. Knead well and spread the dough out on a floured board so that it is an even ½ cm in thickness. Use cookie cutters to make interesting shapes with the dough.
Place the shapes onto a lightly greased oven tray, ensuring there is some room between them to expand. Cook in a low oven for up to 45 minutes, checking the shortbread to ensure that it does not over cook. When they are finished allow to cool for at least fifteen minutes before trying to remove from the tray. Additional decoration can also be added, such as dusting with icing sugar or rolling in raw sugar.
