Cooking Instructions
- 1
The butter should be softened, meaning at room temperature and soft to the touch. Mix the butter well with the sugar.
- 2
Add the egg and a teaspoon of vanilla extract (or the flavoring of your choice) and mix well again.
- 3
Gradually add the flour, kneading until well integrated. The dough should be easy to knead by hand at the end.
- 4
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least half an hour.
- 5
After the time has passed, take the dough out of the fridge. I usually place it on parchment paper and roll it out with a rolling pin. You can make them as thick as you like; I prefer them on the thicker side.
- 6
Cut into desired shapes using a knife or cookie cutters. I have the typical heart and flower shapes, and for the kids, dinosaur and unicorn shapes.
- 7
Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the oven for 12 minutes at 350°F (180°C) with heat from above and below. The twelve minutes are approximate. Remove them when the edges start to color.
- 8
Let cool and they're ready to eat!
- 9
Optionally, and especially for the kids, we sometimes decorate them with fondant, letting them do the decorating (they have a great time with the 'edible playdough'), but I must say it's too much sugar and we prefer them plain.

I tried a range of combinations, but settled on this one.If you are using margarine (for baking), increase the amount of flour by 5-10 g.Adding vanilla beans enhances the fragrance and taste of the cookies. Recipe by nyonta cookpad.japan -
