Ingredients:
9 oz unsalted butter, softened
9 oz unrefined caster sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
½ tsp vanilla extract
18 oz plain flour
1 tsp baking powder

Method:
Beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, beat in the eggs and vanilla extract
Sift the flour and baking powder into a separate bowl then stir the dry ingredients into the butter mixture
Bring the dough together using your hands and turn out onto a floured work surface, knead into a ball
Divide the dough in two
Flatten each piece into a disc and wrap in Clingfilm, chill in refrigerator for two hours
Preheat the oven to 170°C
Place one of the discs of dough on a lightly floured work surface and roll out to a thickness of 1/5”
Cut out using a floured shaped or plain round cutter
Place the cookies a little apart on a non-stick baking sheet and cook in the centre of a preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until a light golden brown
Transfer to a wire rack using a palette knife and leave to cool
Repeat with the second lot of dough
