I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
Mill Sugar Speed 9 for 12 seconds. Re-do if still grainy.
Insert Butterfly and softened butter, and whisk speed 4 for 30 seconds. Scrape sides and whisk a further 10 seconds speed 4. Remove butterfly.
In a small bowl using a fork, whisk egg with essence (can substitute with coconut, almond, peppermint etc for a different flavour). Add this to your butter/sugar mix in bowl.
Combine by mixing on Speed 5 for 10-15 seconds
Add plain flour, baking powder, cream of tartar and salt. Mix Speed 5 until well combined. You may need to scrape sides once. The dough should give a little when touched but not sticking to fingers. Add a little more flour if sticky/too wet.
Turn dough onto floured baking paper and let rest for 5-10 minutes (this lets it harden a little more)
(even better if you have time, put dough into fridge until chilled)
Roll out dough to 5mm thickness and cut out your shapes
Very carefully transfer cutouts to a lined baking tray, once filled place tray in freezer for 5-10mins (reduces cookies spreading)
Bake for 7-10minutes.....watching carefully so they dont brown. they will be soft but will harden up on cooling
Ice with royal icing
Preheat Oven to 200 degrees
Tip
when rolling dough and doing cutouts the dough can be delicate, try using little pieces of baking paper to transfer then turn over onto tray
I put my tray of cookies into the freezer for a while before baking to prevent spreading

Can this be done in Tm6?
Great recipe! Very little spread once cooked! I did add a little more flour at the end and gave it a little knead myself and wrapped it in clingwrap for the fridge. Gave me a nice flat cookie to ice. Thanks for the recipe!
Such a good recipe. Thank you!
Super easy recipe, so yummy!!! Thank you
I did add raw macadamias at the same time as the sugar and blitzed them for the same amount of time, just to add a nice nutty flavour, omitting the later vanilla essence.
Yummy, yummy recipe! Perfect for decorating special occasion cookies
I feel sick... They were SO SO GOOD & I ate far too many!!!!!!
Dont roll too thin, 5mm is perfect!
