Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
- 80 grams Icing sugar (sifted)
- 225 grams Plain flour (sifted)
- 75 grams Cornflour (sifted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 100 grams Unsalted butter (for filling, softened)
- 150 grams Icing sugar (for filling, sifted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for filling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and icing sugar together using an electric mixer until pale, light, and fluffy.
Add the vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until combined.
Gradually sift in the plain flour and cornflour into the butter mixture. Mix gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until a soft, smooth dough forms.
Roll tablespoon-sized portions of the dough into smooth balls and place them onto the prepared baking trays, leaving space between each ball.
Using a fork lightly dipped in flour, gently press down on each ball to flatten slightly and create a decorative pattern.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are just starting to turn pale golden around the edges. Be careful not to overbake.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the trays.
To make the filling, beat the softened butter, sifted icing sugar, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until light and creamy.
Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of buttercream filling on the underside of one cookie, then gently sandwich it with another cookie.
Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
