Vanilla Sugar Cookies
From Donna Hay’s The New Cook

Makes approximately 30 cookies

185g unsalted butter
1 cup caster sugar
1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
2 ½ cups plain flour
a pinch of salt
1 egg

Place butter, sugar and vanilla extract in a food processor and process until smooth.
Add flour and egg and process until a smooth dough forms.
Knead dough lightly, wrap in a plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Roll out dough on sheets of non-stick baking paper until its approximately ¼ inch thick.
Cut dough into desired shaped on baking trays.
Bake cookies in a preheated 180 degrees celcius oven for about 15 minutes or until they are light golden.
Cool cookies on racks.

(p.s I added a couple grains of sea salt over the cookie shapes so that there is a mix of sweet and saltiness)
