Icing

Dough

• Add flour, salt and baking powder into a bowl and mix up.

• In a separate bowl, whip up your butter and sugar with an electric mixer on high for about 2 minutes until that shi is fluffy.

• Add in your egg and vanilla bean paste and mix on medium for 1-2 mins.

• Slowly start adding in you flour mixture on low until it is all incorporated.

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line you baking sheets with parchment paper.

• Start making your dough balls by scooping a spoon full of dough and rolling it into a ball with your hands.

• Prepare a small bowl of caster sugar. After your dough balls are made, you are going to coat each ball in caster sugar and then slightly flatten the dough ball on your baking sheet. You should have about 6 flattened balls on each sheet.

• Bake for 9-10 mins.

• After baking, let the cookies cool and then spread a thin layer of icing on each with a spoon.
