Step 1

Soften butter in a mixing bowl until creamy and smooth

Step 2

Add brown sugar to the butter and mix

Step 3

Add vanilla extract to the butter and sugar, mixing well.

Step 4

In three parts, combine the flour into the sugar and butter mix until it becomes a moveable dough that comes away from the bowl.

Step 5

Sprinkle a generous amount of flour on a cleaned counter surface.

Step 6

Roll the dough onto the counter, making sure it is not too sticky. Using a rolling pin (dusted with flour) roll your dough out into 2cm thickness (or as thin as needed.)

Step 7

Using a cookie cutter (bear shaped if possible) stamp out your cookies and transfer to a parchment lined baking tray.

Step 8

Use a cocktail stick to create four small breathing holes in the tops of the cookies. Optionally, sprinkle some brown sugar on top of the cookies.

Step 9

Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes in the oven at 180°c or until golden brown.

Step 10

Let cool before transferring to a plate to enjoy! Place spare cookies in a sealed container and use within 7 days.
