Steps

1

In a medium bowl whisk together the dry ingredients. Set aside.

Slowly add flour mixture to the butter mixture. Mix till is well combined.
4

Transfer dough to a work surface, shape into 2 discs or just one ball, cover in plastic and refrigerate for an hour, or overnight.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to approximately 1/8-inch thickness. Cut desired shapes. Bakeat 180C / 350°F until slightly golden, about 10 mins. Do not allow to brown.
