Custard Cookies


Ingredients

Yields approx 40 cookies, I made mine really teeny and started out with just half the amounts, had about 24 cookies

2 cups flour
half cup custard powder
half cup pure icing sugar
250g unsalted butter
1 tsp vanilla essence

method
Bring the butter to room temperature. Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees C.

If you have a food processor, mix the butter with icing and vanilla. Process for a couple of minutes or until well combined. You can use a hand-mixer.

Add the flour and custard. Pause until JUST well combined. Do not over-process coz then your cookies won't have a fine delicate crumbly texture.

Shape as desired and bake on greased trays!

PS: I rolled teeny balls with my hands, placed them on the tray and flattened them slightly with a fork. Dip the fork in flour to avoid it sticking to the cookies
