Step 2

Line a baking tray with baking paper.

Step 4

Beat the butter, then cream it with the sugars and vanilla paste until light and fluffy. Stir in the flour and baking powder and mix together to form a dough.

Step 6

Form the dough into about 20 balls, arrange on the baking tray ensuring a few centimetres gap between each, then press each ball flat with the flat edge of a knife (the cookies should be between ½- to one-centimetre thick). Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.

Step 8

Preheat oven to 190C then bake the cookies for 12 minutes or until light and golden. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely on the baking tray.
