Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with the sugar until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla, then mix well.
  4. Stir in the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt until you have a smooth dough.
  5. Shape small balls or sticks and place them on the tray, leaving space between them.
  6. Gently flatten with the back of a fork if you want a pattern.
  7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the edges are golden, then let them cool on a rack.

Variations and tips

Lemon version. Add the zest of half a lemon to the dough for a fresher flavour.
