Butter Cookies

I like to make butter cookies because my daughter loves it and it is one of the easy recipe I have been using for few years.  This time round I made some slight adjustment to the original recipe from happyhomebaking.com
Today I made a few design include cartoons designs too.

Original recipe from http://happyhomebaking.blogspot.sg and I made slight adjustment to my preferred taste.

Ingredients:

100g butter ( I used unsalted)

80g caster sugar ( I used 75g)

1 egg yolk

180g cake flour/ top flour ( I used cake flour)

20g corn flour

I added pinch of salt

Method:

1. Sift cake flour and corn flour, salt together and set aside.

2. Line baking paper on baking tray.

3. With electric mixer, add in sugar to the butter in 2-3 additions and cream till mixture turn pale and fluffy.

4. Add in egg yolk and mix well.

5. Add sifted flour mixture in 2-3 addition and stir with a spatula to form soft dough

6. Place dough in cling wrap and put in fridge for 30mins.
