"Vanilla butter cookies"

This comes from my mom's old Soviet time's recipe book. You can probably find everything you need in your cupboard already!

Ingredients

• 250g white flour
• 125g white sugar
• 125g butter, softened
• small pinch of salt
• 1 tsp vanilla sugar (optional)
• 1 egg

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F).
2. Mix everything together into a ball of dough.
   
3. You can roll the dough out and cut out different shapes or do what I did by taking small pieces of dough, making them into small balls and pressing flat with your hands.
   
   
   
4. Bake for 12 min. or until cookies start to brown slightly from the edges.
   
   
   

Review: This is a really simple recipe. The cookies go well with a cup of tea.

Tip: You can get a nice ruff look on cookies if you use a fork when pressing the dough balls flat.
