225g of soft butter or margarine
140g caster sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
280g plain flour
A pinch of salt
And 50g (or about that) of a filling of your choice
First things first cream (basically mix) the egg and butter together. Then add all the other listed ingredients and mix until it creates a smoothe consistency. Then be creative and add anything you like. I wanted mine to be festive so I added a mix of nuts and some chocolate and honeycombe. Other ideas could be apple and cinnamon or peanut butter? Your mixture should look something like this:
Now spoon the mixture onto some backing paper, place them into a tray and cook then in the oven for 20 minutes (or until golden). Then leave for about 10 minutes to harden. Now your cookies are ready!
