Directions
-
Crack the egg into a bowl and whisk well until fully combined.
-
In a separate bowl, cream together the unsalted butter (120 g), salt (2 g), and sugar (85 g) using an electric mixer. Gradually add the whisked egg mixture and vanilla extract (1 g), mixing thoroughly. Sift in the cake flour (235 g) and baking powder (2 g), then mix until a smooth dough forms.
-
Roll out the dough to a thin, even layer. Cover it with a plastic wrap or place it in a resealable bag. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. Once chilled, use a cookie cutter to shape the dough into cookies.
-
Preheat the oven to the appropriate temperature (typically 170°C/340°F). Bake the cookies for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove them from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving or storing.
