Ingredients

Butter – ¾ cup (room temp)

Castor Sugar- 1 cup (I grind sugar crystals in my coffee grinder)

Egg – 1 / beaten

Flour – 2 ½ cups

Salt – 1 pinch

Almond Essence/Extract – 1 tsp

Vanilla Essence/Extract – 1 tsp

Directions

Preheat the oven to 190deg C. Keep 5-6 ungreased cookie sheets on hand.

Beat the butter and sugar till fluffy and light.

Add the salt + vanilla essence + almond essence and beat for 30 seconds.

With a spatula mix in the beaten egg.

Put in all the flour in one go, and gather together to make a firm dough.

Chill for at least 30 minutes in wrap.

Roll out to ¼ inch thickness and cut with assorted cookie cutters.

Decorate with Smarties (or M ‘n’ M’s), and silver dragees if desired.

Bake on ungreased cookie sheets for 12-14 minutes, watching closely so that they don’t get too brown.

Remove from oven; let the cookies lay on the sheet for a minute. Remove to racks to cool.

This recipe makes approximately 8-9 dozen 1 ½” small cookies.

Note: You can flavour these with any other extract of your choice; or just leave them plain vanilla if you like. I think orange and lemon may work well with these, though I haven’t tried it myself.

Keep an eye on the cookies towards the end of the baking time. If you find a couple browning before others, remove them from the sheet onto cookie rack, and return remaining cookies on sheet to the oven.

I'm not so sure I would have the patience to place each M&M, or silver whatchama-call-its in such perfect array! Too much of a hurry to eat them! Great work, Vindee!
