Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Tip: Make sure to grease the parchment paper lightly to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- 2
Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
Tip: This will help incorporate air and prevent clumping.
- 3
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Tip: Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl halfway through.
- 4
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
Tip: Don't overmix at this stage, or the cookies will become tough.
- 5
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.
Tip: Be careful not to overmix, or the cookies will become dense.
- 6
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip.
Tip: This will help you achieve the perfect slice shape.
- 7
Pipe the dough onto the prepared baking sheet in 5cm diameter slices.
Tip: Make sure to leave about 2cm of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
- 8
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Tip: Keep an eye on the cookies during the last 5 minutes of baking, as they can go from perfectly cooked to burnt quickly.
- 9
Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tip: This will help the cookies retain their shape and make them easier to store.
