  • At this stage, cover the dough with plastic cling film, and let it rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • After letting it rest, sprinkle the work surface with a little flour and roll out the dough with a rolling pin until you get a thickness of 4-5 millimeters.
  • Turn on the oven in static mode at 190 degrees, and prepare baking sheets with baking paper on top.
  • In the meantime shape your cookies.
  • As you cut the cookies, place them on the baking sheet well spaced out.
  • Recompact the leftover dough from the cutouts and roll it out again to make more cookies until you run out of butter cookie dough.
  • Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes. You can definitely take them out of the oven as soon as they start to get the ideal golden color.
  • Let cool the cookies.
  • Your delicious butter biscuits are ready!


Notes

The butter should be soft but not hot, I recommend getting it out of the fridge at least 15 minutes before starting the recipe.

How Can I Make These Biscuits Better?

  • Use a good quality butter.
  • Let the biscuit dough cool for 30 minutes. This will make it easier to roll out and cut into shapes.

How Long Can I Keep The Biscuits?

  • They will last for two weeks or longer if the biscuits are stored in an airtight container.

  4. are your using vanilla or baking powder? I never heard of vanilla baking powder.
    baking powder is a rising agent and vanilla is a flavor?

    1. In Italy we have baking powder with added vanilla flavor (actually “vanillin”) produced by Paneangeli. You can use baking powder and add vanilla fragrance.
