Happy new year foodies! What's cooking / baking?
Today, I'm going to share with you a recipe I developed for these awesome sugar cookies, which I & my family enjoyed whilst waiting for the midnight bell of 31st night.
I hope you enjoy making these as much as I did.
Cheers!

Steps

10 minutes

1

Cream butter, sugar & vanilla together, till pale & fluffy.
2

Add eggs & beat till well incorporated. Add flour and baking powder, alternating with milk & finishing with the flour. Batter should look like buttercream icing in consistency, not watery but thick enough to be piped.
3

Preheat oven, & cover a baking tray with parchment paper, or grease with butter & slightly cover with flour.
4

Transfer batter to a piping bag, cut the tip if using a disposable bag. Pipe out the batter in circles, giving at least 1cm space between each discs to give space for spreading. Bake in a preheated oven for about 10minutes. These cookies burn easily so be sure to keep an eye on them.
5

Once set, bring out of the oven & allow to cool completely before removing from tray.
6

You can sandwich cookies with butter cream or meringue frosting, I used butter cream frosting. I have a recipe for my butter cream frosting in my vanilla & chocolate cake recipe.
7

You can also add chocolate chips to your batter like I did here, but instead of piping, drop batter onto baking tray using a small spoon.
