Ingredients
  

  • 225g unsalted grass-fed butter (18°C)
  • 200g organic granulated sugar
  • 1 large pasture-raised egg (room temperature)
  • 10ml pure Madagascar vanilla extract
  • 375g unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 5g baking powder
  • 2g fine sea salt

Method
 

  1. Weigh all ingredients using a digital scale and ensure butter is at 18°C. Sift flour, baking powder, and sea salt into a bowl.
  2. Cream butter and sugar in a stand mixer for four minutes until pale and fluffy.
  3. Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing on low until emulsified.
  4. Gradually incorporate the flour mixture until just combined.
  5. Divide dough into two disks, wrap in parchment paper, and refrigerate for at least two hours.
  6. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Roll dough between parchment to 6mm thickness and cut out shapes.
  7. Place on baking sheets with space in between and bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are pale gold.
  8. Cool on a wire rack before decorating.
