Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups sifted cake flour, spooned in and leveled
- 1/8 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup caster sugar
- 1 stick unsalted butter, slightly firm
- 1/2 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Cinnamon mixture = 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon + 1 teaspoon sugar
Preparation
Step 1
1) Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
2) Using an electric mixer, whip butter and sugar on medium-low speed.
3) Using a fork, beat the egg and vanilla together, mix into the butter-sugar mixture.
4) Add the dry ingredient and mix only until the mixture begins to form a mass.
5) Transfer the dough to a floured surface, knead for 4-5 times, or until smooth.
6) Mix the cinnamon mixture into 1/4 of the dough. Lightly knead the mixture 3 or 4 times into the dough to create a marbled effect.
7) Shape the dough into two disks and then wrap them with plastic. Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.
8) Preheat the oven to 350 deg C.
9) Remove the dough from the fridge. Working with 1 disk at a time, roll the dough to a 1/16-inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes with cookies cutters. Place the cookies on a tray lined with parchment paper.
10) Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown.
11) Let the cookies stand on tray for 1 or 2 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack.
