Basic biscuit mix

Ingredients

• 185g butter, softened
• 3/4 cup caster sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• 2 cups Lighthouse Cake, Biscuit and Pastry plain flour

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180ºC/160ºC fan-forced. Line 3 baking trays with baking paper.
2. Using an electric mixer, beat butter, sugar and vanilla until pale and creamy. Add egg. Beat until combined. Sift flour over butter mixture. Using a wooden spoon, stir to combine. See notes for baking instructions and tips.

Notes

• Place cookies 4cm apart on prepared trays. Bake for 10-12 minutes until light golden. For even colouring, swap trays halfway through cooking time. If dough gets a little soft after rolling, place in fridge until firm enough to handle. If rolling dough, form dough into a disc. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes before rolling.
