Preparation
Step 1
Measure the flour, salt and baking powder into a bowl, mix and set aside.
Step 2
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and the sugar. Once smooth, add the eggs, vanilla and combine well.
Step 3
Add the flour mixture to the butter / egg mixture a little at a time. Mix until the dough is smooth and flour is fully incorporated.
Step 4
Cover the dough with plastic wrap so that it is touching the surface of the dough. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Overnight is fine too. If you want to freeze the dough, you can do so at this stage.
Step 5
Working on a lightly floured surface, roll out your dough to the desired thickness. Don’t go too thin... they are nicer when rolled thicker.
Step 6
Cut out your shapes and place them on a lightly floured baking sheet.
Step 7
Bake in the centre of a preheated oven at 350 F for approximately 8 minutes (depending on the size and thickness).
