Homemade Cookies

Nothing beats homemade cookies hot out of the oven.  For a bit of fun, we decorated some of the cookies using icing sugar and icing.

Ingredients:

3 x cups of flour, plain

2 x teaspoons baking powder

1 ½ cups sugar

2 x eggs

½ cup butter

2 x teaspoons vanilla essence

Method:

Preheat the oven.

In a bowl, mix the flour and baking powder together.

In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat the eggs and vanilla and add to the butter and sugar.

Slowly add the flour mixture.

When it forms a stiff dough divide into 4 parts.

Roll each part out using a rolling pin.

Cut out shapes using a cookie cutter.

Place on lightly greased baking trays.

Bake for 10 mins.

Tips:

·         Add different things (coco, coconut, cinnamon etc..) for different flavoured cookies!
