This deceptively simple recipe can come out in a million different ways with a few very minor variations on ingredients and amounts. This one is my favorite – flaky, but not dry; soft, but not hard; crispy just in the right places .

 * Ingredients :

° 150 g of flour

° 75 g of sugar

° 75 g of butter

° 1 c. Vanilla powder

° 1 egg

° 1 pinch of salt

° icing sugar

* Preparation :

1.

Combine the flour, sugar, vanilla and salt in a bowl. Add the butter then knead with your fingertips until you get a sandy dough. Quickly add the egg to the preparation and mix until you get a ball of smooth dough.

2.

Cover with a clean cloth and let stand 30 min in a cool place. Preheat the oven to 200 ° C.

3.

Roll out the dough on a floured work surface. Cut out the cookies using a cookie cutter to bake them. Place shortbread cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Baking about 10 min . Allow cookies cool out of the oven.

4.

Stored cookies in an hermetic container until gusto. Sprinkle with icing sugar to serve.

ENJOY !
