Custard Cookies

Process

Preheat the oven to 170° C. 

Line and grease a baking tray with baking paper or parchment.

In a stand-mixer or with a balloon whisk, cream the butter and sugar until light & fluffy.

Add the egg and whisk until combined.

Sift in the dry ingredients, flour, corn flour, custard powder and baking powder and gently fold in until a soft dough comes together.

Scoop small amounts of cookie dough onto the baking tray and press the dough down slightly with a fork or with your fingers.

Bake for 12 minutes in the preheated oven until just baked through.

Cool on a wire rack and dust with icing sugar before serving.
