Custard Cookies (Vlakoekies)

This is now what you call melting moments and makes a wonderful gift for that someone special. I remember visiting my friend on a farm and entering their home smelling the warm vanilla and custard cookies? Maybe you are one of those mums that think it is madness baking cookies as it is all finished within a day, well no need to worry about that, this recipe is so easy you can make it in a flash

Ingredients:

 250g Butter

 8 Tablespoons sugar

 8 Tablespoons custard powder (heaped)

 1/2 Teaspoon vanilla

 4 Teaspoons baking powder

 2 Eggs (well beaten until light and fluffy)

 3 Cups cake flour

Method:

Preheat oven to 180°C. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper. Place butter, sugar and vanilla into a food processor, or mix with your electric mixer for 2 minutes. Add the beaten eggs.

Add flour, custard powder and baking powder Mix (don’t over-process or mix, cookies will not have a fine texture).

Roll heaped teaspoonfuls of mixture into small balls. Place onto prepared baking trays. Press with a floured fork to flatten slightly. Bake for 12 minutes or until light golden. Allow to stand on trays for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining cookie mixture.

ENJOY! / LEKKER EET!
