    Cooking Instructions

    10 mins
    1. 1

      Dice your butter or margarine, and mix it with the sugar, either by hand or with an appliance.

    2. 2

      Add the flour, vanilla extract, and water.

    3. 3

      Mix until you have a smooth dough. Wrap the dough in clingfoil, and refridgerate for 30 minutes.

    4. 4

      Take out your dough and place it on a floured surface. Sprinkle some flour on top of the dough and then add some to a rolling pin.

    5. 5

      Roll out your dough so it is roughly 1,5cm/1in thick.

    6. 6

      Cut your cookies into "bars" and just make a pattern on them with a fork. Do NOT go all the way through the cookie, just press down very lightly with the fork.

    7. 7

      Line a baking tray with some parchment paper or baking paper or the equivalent.

    8. 8

      Put your cookies on the baking tray and sprinkle lightly with caster/granulated/refined sugar.

    9. 9

      Bake in the oven at 190 celsius/350F for roughly 12-18 minutes or golden.

    10. 10

      Take them out from the oven and let them cool on the tray for about 3-4 minutes.

    11. 11

      Transfer to a wire rack and let them cool completely. Enjoy!
