zakladni susenkove testo

200g soft butter - 200g sugar - 1 large egg - 400g flour.

Add any flavour you like, vanilla, lemon/orange zest, cinnamon etc. Also you can replace 50 g of the flour with cocoa powder. (I always add nothing or lots of vanilla :)

Add all ingredients - stir the egg gently before adding.

After kneaded together, wrap the dough in clingfilm and place in fridge for 1½ hour. This makes the dough more stable, so the cookies won´t lose shape too easy when cut out and moved onto the baking sheet.

Knead lightly and roll out the dough and cut out whatever shapes you want. Bake in the middle of the oven at 175-200 degrees for 12-15 minutes depending on the size of the cookies.
