This cut-out cookie is well tried and tested. Can be used as a plain cookie or cover in chocolate, or as I do; sandwich them together with cream and fruit for dessert. They are light and fluffy and melt in the mouth. Always a winner in my house. Ingredients:
1 cup self-rising flour |
1/2 cup cornflour |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
155 g butter, softened |
1/2 cup icing sugar |
Directions:
1. Sift flour, cornflour, and salt into a bowl.
2. Beat butter and icing sugar together until creamy.
3. Add dry ingredients.
4. Beat until the mixture is smooth and makes a soft dough.
5. Roll out and cut out to desired shape and size.
6. Place onto lightly greased baking sheet.
7. Place in a pre-heated 150 degrees Celsius oven.
8. Bake for about 15 minutes.
9. The cookies should stay a pale colour.
10. Do not overcook.
11. Cool on a wire rack.
12. Dust with icing sugar or dip into chocolate. Or, top one with whipped cream; put cut fruit around the edge; a little syrup on top; top with another cookie.
13. They make great strawberry shortcakes.
