Christmas cookies - easy recipe

Hello lovely readers!

Before I begin, I have to say I'm not a natural cook - I don't cook or bake at all. But! It's Christmas and I decided it would be nice to make an effort and contribute to our festive table. So, I went to find the easiest recipe I could. And it worked out perfectly!

You'll need:

• 1 stick (4 oz) of softened butter (11,3 dkg butter)
• 1 cup of sugar (12,8 dkg sugar)
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla bean paste (optional)
• 2 cups of all purpose flower (25,6 dkg rough flower)
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
• pinch of salt

Preparation:

• melt butter to the room temperature
• mix/beat butter with sugar until you get the smooth mixture
• add egg and vanilla and mix it again until all of it combines
• add all the other ingredients
• form a dough and leave it in the refrigerator for about half an hour
• roll out the dough to be thick around 0,5 cm to 1 cm
• get your molds and have fun creating different shapes
• get your cookies on the cooking paper and put everything in the preheated oven (350°F or 175°C)
• bake for around 10-15 minutes until you get the golden color
