Ingredients

  • 320g Flour
  • 250g Sugar (extra 50g for coating)
  • 225g Butter
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1 large egg
  • Optional: 1/2 cup (approx. 120ml) Nammilk fresh cream for whipped cream topping

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C.
  2. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the egg, baking powder, salt and vanilla. Mix well.
  4. Gradually add the flour, a little at a time, until you have a soft dough that does not stick.
  5. Weigh and roll the dough into approx. 60g balls.
  6. Roll each ball in the extra sugar and place on a baking tray.
  7. Slightly flatten each cookie.
  8. Bake for 14 minutes, rotating the tray after 7 minutes for an even bake.
  9. Remove cookies from the baking tray immediately after baking to prevent overbaking.
  10. Allow to cool on a wire rack.

Optional topping

  • Measure out 1/2 cup (approx. 120ml) of Nammilk fresh cream.
  • Beat until light and fluffy.
  • Top the sugar cookies with the whipped cream, serve and enjoy with a glass of Nammilk fresh milk!

Tips

  • For softer cookies, avoid overmixing the dough.
  • Leave enough space between cookies as they spread slightly while baking.
  • Store in an airtight container to keep the cookies fresh and soft.
  • Use a kitchen scale for precise weighing of ingredients and cookie dough balls.
