Simple Sweet Shortcrust Pastry

For the short pastry, put sugar and flour on a large work surface and dice butter and spread it on top. The butter should be very soft, it is best to put it out of the refrigerator a few hours before processing.

Beat an egg in the middle and knead until the dough is firm and homogeneous. Leave the dough to chill in the refrigerator for at least half an hour.

Knead the dough again and dust the work surface with flour. Now roll out to about 0.5 cm and cut out cookies.

Place the cookies on a baking tray with baking paper and bake for approx. 8-10 minutes at 180 °C until lightly yellow/gold in color.
