The Little Chef Diary : Plain Buttery Cookies

Plain cookies taste nice! On Wednesday, my friends came over my house during the holidays and I decided to bake this along with them. It's typically the simplest of all but I doesn't like to bake it because you need to to roll it on a flat surface and cut it out with a cookie cutter. :( It's troublesome for me.

Plain Cookies (aka Star Cookies in the book) ( from Something Sweet - Cakes, Bakes, Desserts by Food Lovers )
Ingredients:
250g all-purpose flour
90g castor sugar
175g butter, cubed
12 candy-coated chocolate chips (M&M) (Instead of this, I used chocolate chips)

Method:

1. Heat the oven to 180'C
2. Put the flour, sugar and butter together in a processor and blend together to make crumbs, or put into a bowl and rub everything together with your fingertips. Pulse a little more to form into a ball, or squeeze the mixture together with your hands.
3. Turn the dough onto a sheet of parchment paper. Use a lightly floured rolling pin to roll out the dough to 0.5cm thickness.
4. Dip your 1ocm star cutter in flour and stamp out 10 star shapes, carefully removing the trimmings from around the sides, but leaving the cookies on the paper. Reroll the trimming to make 2 additional cookies and place on another parchment paper.  ( You can actually use cookies cutter of any size or any shape to your favour :)
5. Place the dough, still on the parchment, onto 2 baking sheets. Press the candy into the center of each. Bake for 10 minutes until pale golden. Cool and store in airtight tin.
