METHOD
- Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl and set aside.
- Place the butter, sugar and vanilla into the bowl of a freestanding mixer with a paddle attachment. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Add the egg and beat until combined. If the mixture looks slightly curdled add 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture and beat until the mixture is smooth.
- Gently fold the remaining flour into the butter mixture and shape into a ball. Place into an airtight container and place into the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Roll out the dough between two silicone sheets or baking paper until 8 mm thick.
- Cut out your desired shapes using cookie cutters.
- Place into the oven on Fan Plus at 150°C and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

100 g good-quality chocolate callets. Melt half of the chocolate in a small saucepan on low heat, induction setting 2. Remove from the heat and add remaining chocolate. Stir continuously until all of the chocolate has melted.
