Cute Autumn Butter Cookies
150 g cold butter
100 g icing sugar
1 egg + 1 egg yolk
300 g plain flour
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Mix the cold butter with the icing sugar until combined. Add the vanilla, salt, egg and egg yolk, then mix again until incorporated.
Add the flour and mix only until the dough comes together — don’t overwork it.
Pinch off a few small pieces of dough and colour them however you like: cocoa powder for brown, food colouring for brighter colours, or freeze-dried fruit powder for natural colour and flavour.
Then comes the fun part… 🍄🍁🌼 be creative! Make mushrooms, leaves, flowers, little branches — whatever you fancy. Press your decorations gently onto the main dough, cut out the cookies and bake.
Bake at 170°C for around 10–15 minutes, until the edges are just beginning to turn golden.
Simple ingredients, a little imagination, and cookies that are almost too cute to eat.
Almost. 😅❤️
