I needed an easy cookie cutter recipe in a hurry and I found this brilliant recipe online here http://planningwithkids.com/2010/05/01/easy-cookie-cutter-recipe/ *Original recipe says to use self raising flour but I didnt have any so added extra baking powder & salt. I want to use my own photos to show exactly how easy this is,...

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 1/4 c flour
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 c caster sugar
150 g butter
2 eggs
2 Tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 180C Mix flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl
  • 2. Cream butter, sugar and vanilla in a separate bowl
  • 3. Add one egg to butter mixture and mix until completely combined, then add other egg and repeat, lastly add milk and mix well.
  • 4. Add butter mixture to the flour and mix until it starts to come together then using hands, mix dough into a ball
  • 5. Cut dough into 3 parts and roll each part out flat, between 2 sheets of baking paper. Layer all 3 sheets into a baking dish and refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour. I found this a little hard because my baking paper was so slippery and it was hard to roll, next time I might try cling wrap instead.
  • 6. Remove sheets from fridge and use cookie cutters to cut out shapes. TIP: Spray cookie cutters with cooking spray or grease the edges (not too much). This makes it easier to pop the dough out from the cookie cutter.
  • 7. Bake for 8 minutes or until golden. Roll out remaining dough and repeat until finished.
  • 8. I got a whole lot of cookies out of this recipe. The star shaped cookie cutter I used was about 3 inches, so all together I was able to make about 30 cookies. I love this recipe, not bad for my first attempt and I think it will get easier the more I make it but Im very grateful to the lady who posted the original recipe.
