Here’s a super easy sugar cookies recipe. This recipe makes 24 cookies using a 6cm cookie cutter.

I have topped them with store bought fondant. And used food colouring mixed with water to add the colours.  

What You Will Need

Cookies

  • 450g plain flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 230g butter, at room temperature
  • 200g sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Topping

  • Store bought fondant
  • Food colouring (optional)

How To Make It

Step One: Place flour, salt and baking powder in a bowl and set to the side.

Step Two: In a separate bowl whisk together egg and vanilla extract.

Step Three: In a bench mixer, beat the butter and sugar until creamy.

Step Four: Slowly add the egg and vanilla mix to bench mixer and mix until well combined.

Step Five: With the bench mixer on low, add flour mix 1/3 at a time. Mix until chunks of cookie dough start to form.

Step Six: Bring dough together in a bowl and knead with hands for 20 seconds.

Step Seven: Cover dough in cling film and pop it in the fridge overnight.

Step Eight: Preheat oven to 160°C and line 2 baking sheets with baking paper.

Step Nine: Split dough into 4 and roll our between 2 sheets of baking paper until 5mm thick.

Step Ten: Using a 6cm cookie cutter, cut out cookie rounds and place on baking sheet.

Step Eleven: Bake cookies for 8 mins or until just golden.

Step Twelve: Let cookie cool on baking tray for 5 minutes then completely cool on wire rack.

Step Thirteen: Colour fondant and roll out to 2mm thick and using the same 6cm cookie cutter cut out rounds. Decorate with whatever you want. I have used a custom cookie stamp, water colours and sprinkles.

Step Fourteen: Using water, stick fondant to cookies.

      I mainly use normal sugar and make sure to cream the butter and sugar well. You can use castor sugar as a substitute.
