Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter softened at room temperature
  • 5 1/3 tablespoons icing sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 3/8 cups plain flour
  • 5 1/2 tablespoons cornflour cornstarch

Method

  • With an electric mixer, cream butter and icing sugar together until pale and fluffy. Add the vanilla extra and beat for a few seconds.
  • Sift the flour and cornflour together over the butter mixture and mix until smooth.
  • Spoon the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a large star-shaped piping nozzle. Pipe into the required shapes on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Space the shapes well apart.
  • Bake the cookies in preheated oven at 180degC for 12 minutes or until they are a pale golden colour. Leave for a few minutes on the baking tray to firm up slightly before transferring to wire rack to cook.
