Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C (160 °C fan) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  2. Beat the softened butter with the sugar and vanilla sugar until smooth and pale.
  3. Add the beaten egg, then the flour mixed with the baking powder and salt, and knead just enough to form a smooth dough.
  4. Shape small balls the size of a walnut, flatten them slightly and place them on the tray, spaced apart.
  5. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are golden. Let them cool completely on a wire rack before storing them.

Variations and tips

Lemon flavour. Add the zest of an untreated lemon to the dough for a fresh note.
