  • Non stick cookie sheet or a lined and greased baking tray
Just Add Prepare
• 4 oz/125 gm butter

• 1/2 cup sugar

• 1 cup plain flour

• 1/2 cup cornflour



• Preheat the oven to 350F/180C

• Melt butter in a saucepan with the sugar. Combine till the butter is melted and take it off the heat immediately

• Keep stirring till the mixture is thick and well blended

• Tip in the plain flour and corn flour and combine well till there are no lumps

• Lift about a third of the dough onto a pastry or chopping board. Shape into a thick short roll and slice into 1/3 inch thickness

• Remove onto a non-stick cookie sheet or a lined and oiled baking tray

• Repeat for the remainder of the cookie dough

• Bake for 15 - 18 minutes till just golden brown. Take care not to overcook the cookie

• Remove from the oven as soon as time's up or they'll become over-brown




Serve immediately on a Christmas tid-bit serving dish and consume while fresh. Store excess in an airtight container and not in the refrigerator.

This recipe makes a thick, generous Christmas cookie.

Tips

The secret with using cookie cutters with angled shapes like Christmas trees or angels is to make the cookie thick. A thin layer of dough is more likely to fall apart on being transferred to the cookie sheet as the angled edges are the weak points.

I know in the interests of health, you'll be tempted to use less butter, but for a rich and short Christmas cookie, don't use any less butter.

Butter also tastes better than vegetable oil as it has a fuller flavor.
