Butter Cookie Recipe

This is the recipe I used to bake the butter cookies last week:

Recipe adapted from the 3 Ingredients Cookbook

I
ngredients
1 cup/250g/2 sticks Butter (I used SCS salted butter)
2/3 cup lightly packed soft brown sugar
2 and 2/3 cup Plain Flour
2 tsp of vanilla extract/ favourite flavouring (I've tried Irish Coffee)
Demera Sugar/ golden granulated sugar to roll the cookie dough in

Method
1. Preheat the oven to 160 degree Celsius.
2. Cream butter and sugar together till fluffy (cream for about 5 minutes). Add Vanilla extract and beat a little more.
3. Stir in flour and mix into a soft dough (non sticky!).
4. Tear a piece of baking paper and shape the dough into a long roll on it. You can have it round or square or rectangle.
5. On one side of the baking paper, sprinkle a thick layer of demera sugar.
6. Coat the dough with the sugar. Wrapped with the baking paper when done.
7. Put into the fridge to chill for at least 30 mins (I put mine overnight).
8. Unwrap the dough and cut into slices. Place on baking sheet (I put a layer of baking paper on top) at least an inch apart. The cookie will still expand somewhat.
9. Bake for 30 minutes or till golden brown (depends on how big your cookies are).
10. Remove from oven, let it cool before storing and keep it out of the way from the kids/ adults.
