Butter biscuits

Tonight I wanted plain, easy cookies that I could decorate and ice. I must mention, decorating cookies is not my strong point- give me cupcakes any day! But these are a "gift" for a friend tomorrow to brighten her day, even if they aren't super fancy.

Cookies:
150g room temp butter
75c castor sugar
225g plain flour

Cube butter and rub into sugar and flour. Roll into glad wrap, refrigerate for 15 minutes, roll out onto a tray and slice.
Bake at 170deg C for 15-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Let sit before icing

There are a few place I could have gone wrong here.... I "roughly" halved the ingredients, and wasn't too picky about it. I used regular flour instead of castor. I gave up with the refrigerating after 10 minutes, and I have the oven too high. Oh, and I may have overcooked. But even though, these are 100x better than the "sugar cookies" I attempted to bake just before Christmas, these are crispy and tasty and I just ate two of them! (Not the pictures ones, they are the gift).

So honestly, try it. Grab your child, niece, or a friend's kid, and just make some cookies! And have fun with it!
