    Method

    • step 1

      Preheat oven to 180° C. Grease and line two cookie sheets.
    • step 2

      In a bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla extract and egg.
    • step 3

      In a separate bowl combine baking powder with flour and add a little at a time to the wet ingredients. The dough will be very stiff.
    • step 4

      DO NOT CHILL THE DOUGH. Divide into workable batches, roll out onto a floured surface and cut into whatever shapes you desire.
    • step 5

      Bake for 8-10 minutes. Let cool on the cookie sheet until firm enough to transfer to a cooling rack.

    These are the best thing I’ve ever made even my little sister who is 4 made them and everyone loved them

    This recipe produces a dough that cannot be rolled. The amount of flour needed to make rolling possible makes the cookies inedible. No amount of icing can mask the sharp aftertaste of flour

    Absolutely amazing! Even better if you add your own icing!

    tip

    Recipe makes a very wet dough, I recommend chilling it in the fridge to reduce the spread

    Add a bit of flour if you think it's too wet
