- 250 grams soft-to-the-touch butter
- 1 cup icing sugar
- 1/2 cup cooking oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 2 3/4 cups cake flour
- 3 heaped tablespoons Cornflour
- Optional toppings: Smarties, chopped nuts, or melted chocolate for dipping.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
- In a large bowl, cream 250 grams of soft-to-the-touch butter with a whisk for about a minute until smooth.
- Add ½ cup cooking oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla essence, and 1 cup icing sugar, then whisk together for 2 minutes until fluffy.
- Gradually fold in 2¾ cups of cake flour and 3 heaped tablespoons Cornflour.
- Whisk for about a minute until combined. The dough should be soft but hold its shape.
- Spoon your dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle.
- Pipe your favorite shapes directly onto the lined tray.
- Chill the piped biscuits in the fridge for 5–10 minutes before baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden.
- Let them cool on the tray for a few minutes.
- Optionally, dip in melted chocolate or sprinkle toppings like Smarties or nuts before baking.
- Tip: If your biscuits spread too much, add 2 extra tablespoons of flour or Cornflour to the dough next time.
