I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
Place Thermoserver on top of Tm and weigh in flour. Put aside
Place butter and sugar in Tm and beat 8sec/sp5. Do not beat longer as it will cause your cookies to spread.
Add egg and vanilla and beat 3sec/sp4. While beating at sp4, gradually add flour through hole in the lid. Once all the flour has been poured in, mix for a further 3sec to combine properly. Scrape down. Knead 1min
"Closed lid" /
"Dough mode" Tip out onto lightly floured Thermomat and work into a smooth ball. Wrap in gladwrap and refridgerate for 30mins-1hr. Preheat oven to 180degrees and line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
Roll dough between 2 sheets of baking paper using thickness guides of approx 8mm. Cut Shapes out using cookie cutters and place on prepared trays 2-3cm apart. If time allows, or dough is too soft to handle, refridgerate whole tray for another 30mins.
Bake for 10-12mins or until very lightly golden
Decorate with EDC Royal Icing.
1) Place 250grams sugar in TM bowl and mill 30sec/sp9.
2) Place remainder 250grams sugar in TM bowl and mill again 30sec/sp9. (If it is still not super fine enough, let TM rest for a few minutes and re-mill 30sec/sp9)
3) Add egg whites and lemon juice and mix 5sec/sp7.
4) Pipe or spread onto cooled cookies.

Tip
NOTE: Thickness guides are simple two objects of the same height that you place either side of your dough so your rolling pin can gllide over. eg. plastic container lids, books, sticks. This will always ensure same thickness cookies which will bake evenly.
This recipe also works well using Nuttlex for a dairy free option.

Made Valentines Day cookies with this recipe. Delicious cookies. Makes a lot of icing though, next time I would even halve the icing as ended up discarding a lot.
Made for wedding favors. Set beautifully, icing great consistency

Great recipe for cookies, icing set perfect but i needed to repeat the mill a few more times to make sugar fine enough
What is the approximate shelf life of these cookies? I'd like to make them in advance for a party?
How many does this recipe make? I can't wait to try them out
Hi - how many cookies does this make? I'm doing christmas cookies with my son's kindy class and pre making the dough so they can just roll out bake and decorate - 20 kids with a fair bit of waste - would I need to do two batches? Also is it ok to make the night before and just though out for 30 min?
Awesome recipe!
Just made a test batch of snowflakes for my daughters upcoming Frozen party.! Great recipe they taste just like bakery made cookies, they didn't spread much at all which was great to keep the cutter shape. Surprisingly they aren't overly sweet with that amount of sugar. Great recipe, thankyou
So Easy and Yummy!!! will be making them again.
