Butter cookies are very tasty and very easy and fun to make; this is a great recipe for teaching kids how to cook food that is both tasty and healthy for them.

Cooking time: 1 hour

Ingredients

• 6 1/8 ounces (180 grams) soft butter
• 7 ounces (200 grams) caster sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 14 ounces (400 grams) wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon (5 ml) baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla essence
• Butter (for lubrication)

Steps

1. 1 Grease a baking sheet with butter. Sprinkle a baking sheet with flour and shake it a little to distribute the flour evenly. This will prevent the cookies from sticking during the baking process.
2. 2 Combine butter and sugar in a large container.
3. 3 In a small bowl, beat two eggs and add the vanilla extract.
4. 4 Slowly add the egg mixture to the butter. Do not add the entire mixture at once, as it can curdle.
5. 5 Take a separate bowl and combine the flour, salt and baking powder in it. Add this mixture slowly to the oil mixture. Stir well so that there are no lumps left and to make a dough.
6. 6 Remove the dough from the bowl and gently roll it into a ball. Divide the ball into two equal halves. Press down lightly on each half and cover with cling film. Place both halves in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
7. 7 Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.
8. 8 Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface. Create different shapes of cookies using different cookie cutters. Place the finished forms on a baking sheet. The remaining dough can be rolled back into a ball, then rolled out and cut into other cookie shapes.
9. 9 Bake the cookies for 10 minutes.
10. 10 Place the finished cookies on a cooling rack and dust with powdered sugar.
11. 11 Ready.
