Quick and Easy – Vanilla Snap Biscuits

Quick and Easy – Vanilla Snap Biscuits

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
• 1 large egg, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together using a hand mixer on medium speed until fluffy and light, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, beating well until fully incorporated.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing well after each addition to form a smooth dough.
5. Scoop teaspoon-sized amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie to allow for spreading.
6. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. Keep a close watch to avoid over-baking.
7. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
   Tips:

• Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easy creaming; this will give your biscuits a perfect texture.
• For an extra vanilla kick, you can add a pinch more of vanilla extract.
• If you want a slightly softer biscuit, reduce baking time by a minute, keeping an eye on them.
• Store the cooled biscuits in an airtight container to maintain their crisp snap.
