Instructions

Cut the cold butter into cubes and rub it into the flour, baking powder and salt until the texture resembles breadcrumbs.
Add the sugar, egg and vanilla, then knead quickly into a smooth dough.
Shape into a disc, wrap it in cling film and chill for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
Roll out the dough to 5 mm thick and cut out rounds with a cutter.
Arrange them on a tray lined with baking paper, leaving space between them.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are golden, then let them cool on a wire rack.
