Vanilla Bean Cookies

July 21, 2012 By Spoonful of Sugar - 3 Comments

You may have noticed that A Spoonful of Sugar has been fairly quiet over the past few weeks. We had a couple of weeks off to relax – including a much anticipated family holiday to Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia. We have also had school and university holidays over recent weeks and it was lovely to spend time with the teens. I am now on extended long service leave from the day job. There are lots of plans afoot for sewing and crafty projects; baking and healthy meals; and home organisation projects. Stay tuned!

This week Sarah baked us a big batch of Vanilla Bean Cookies. If you are after a plain, crisp cookie, then these will fit the bill. They are lovely and light, and the vanilla bean paste gives them a delicious vanilla taste. They are particularly good served warm from the oven. They also freeze well.

Ingredients:

1 3/4 cup plain (all purpose) flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

Method:

  • Preheat oven to 175 degrees C (350 F).
  • Whisk together flour, baking soda and salt. Mix butter and sugar in the mix-master on medium high speed until pale and fluffy. Add egg, vanilla extract and paste, Mix until smooth. Reduce speed to low and gradually mix in flour.
  • Using a 1 inch ice cream scoop, drop dough onto baking sheets lined with baking paper. Bake until golden and just set, approx 8 – 10 minutes. Cool on wire racks.

Makes: Approx 30 cookies.

    Delish. I second the call for seeing some Malaysia shots – that would be lovely! Enjoy your time off, it will be fun to see what you get up to craft-wise with more time on your hands.
