- 100 g butter, soft
- 100 g sugar
- 1 egg
- 250 g plain flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract
Beat the butter with sugar using a hand-held mixer.
Add the egg and mix again to get a smooth cream-like texture.
Add the vanilla and lemon extract, and sift the flour in.
Use your hands to knead everything into a dough that does not stick to the hands.
Cover the dough with clingfilm and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Using a rolling pin, roll the dough to a ¼ cm thickness.
Dust the cookie stamper with flour, shaking off the excess flour.
Keeping the stamper straight, press it into the dough firmly to form an indent.
Use a round cookie cutter to cut around the stamped cookie.
Arrange the cookies on a baking tray lined with non-stick baking paper.
Chill the cookies for 10-15 minutes before baking them in the preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit) for 10-12 minutes until pale yellow.
Remove from the oven and leave to cool slightly, before transferring to the cooling rack to cool completely.

- Chilling the dough before rolling and after cutting the cookies out is a step that cannot be skipped. Butter warms up quickly, and before you cut out all the cookies, chances are, the dough is not cold anymore.
- Also, make sure the oven is preheated well before you pop the cookies in, if the oven is at the right temperature, the cookies will be ready in 10 minutes- maximum 12 depending on the size and thickness of your cookies.
