Christmas Sugar Cookies
Christmas Sugar Cookies
300g caster sugar
140g butter
2 large eggs
1 tbsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp milk
550g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
200g glace cherries, chopped
In a large bowl, beat the sugar and butter together until pale and creamy. Gradually beat in the eggs, vanilla and milk. Mix the flour, baking powder and salt together in a new bowl, then add a few spoonfuls at a time to the butter mixture, stirring with each addition to combine, Fold in the cherries through the dough, then shape into two logs. Wrap the logs in cling film. Freeze one for a later date and chill the other for at least 2 hours. Heat the oven to 180C fan and butter 3 non-stick baking trays. Unwrap the cling film from the chilled log and use a large knife to slice rounds the thickness of a £1 coin. Lay the cookies on the trays and bake for about 5-6 mins. Cool on wire racks. THEY WON’T LAST LONG, YOU HAVE A SPARE IN THE FREEZER.
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas,
