Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 160°C (fan-forced) and line two large flat baking trays with baking paper.
2. Beat the butter on medium speed until smooth, about 30 seconds.
3. Slowly add the icing sugar and mix until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
4. Add the plain flour and mix on low speed until combined; the mixture will be crumbly.
5. Gently knead into a ball without overworking it, then chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
6. Roll out to 1/2-1 cm thick and cut out shapes with cookie cutters.
7. Place the shapes on the prepared trays and bake for 12-15 minutes, until just very lightly golden. Do not overcook.
8. Cool on the trays for 10 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
