Everyone needs a basic cookie recipe stuck in their head that they can just whip together without a blink. This recipe literally takes less than fifteen minutes from start to finish and can be adapted in about a bazillion ways.
Meet the Players:
1 cup sugar
1 nob of butter (100g ish)
1 egg
2 cups of flour
1 small pinch of salt
1 packet of sparkley (hard boiled) sweeties…
Play the Game:
Step 1: Cream the butter and sugar together.
Step 2: Add the egg
Step 3: Beat the 2 cups of flour into it.
Step 4: Roll out your dough on a floured surface and cut the shapes, using the larger cookie cutter.
Step 5: Place the cookies onto the baking tray and then use a smaller cutter and remove the middle of the cookie. Pop a boiled sweet into the hollow.
Step 6: Bake at 180 degrees Celcius for about 10 minutes.
Step 7: Leave the cookies on the tray to cool otherwise they will break as you pop them onto the cooling tray.
I promised quick and easy. Yum, yum you are done.
