Directions

40 min.
1. Step

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

2. Step

In a large bowl, combine the butter and sugar until well blended and a smooth mixture is obtained. This is a crucial step to get the right texture. I recommend using room temperature butter to make the process easier.

3. Step

Add the egg and vanilla, and continue mixing. That will give our cookies a nice deep flavor.

4. Step

Slowly add the flour and salt while continuing to mix. Don't worry if the dough looks a little dry at first; keep mixing and the butter will take care of giving it the necessary moisture.

5. Step

When the dough is ready, roll it out with a rolling pin to a thickness of about 1/2 cm. Cut out the cookies with your favorite molds. This is the time to put your creativity to the test, so have fun.

6. Step

Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.

7. Step

Bake the cookies for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remember the key is to keep a close eye on them as they can burn quickly.

8. Step

Let the cookies cool before decorating. This is important because if they are too hot, the icing will melt.
