Ingredients
 

Decoration

  • 5 g cinnamon (for variation with cinnamon)
  • Coconut rind (for the jagged square cookies)
  • Decorative sugar (for the jagged round cookies)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a baking sheet with baking paper.
  • Mix the butter together with the sugar and caster sugar in a bowl. Mix this until creamy.
  • Add the egg and egg yolk to the mixture and mix until everything is well blended.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, vanilla extract and salt. Mix until a firm dough forms.
  • Divide the dough into 4 parts.
  • Take 1 part and add 5gr of cinnamon, mix well.
  • Press the different doughs a little flatter. Let the doughs rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes so it can cool properly. The flatter the dough the faster it cools and the easier you can work it.
  • Roll out part by part on a surface dusted with flour to a maximum thickness of 4 mm.
