Ingredients

½ cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, softened
¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
1 ½ cups (175 g) Loprofin Baking Mix, plus 1-2 Tbsp for rolling out dough
2-3 Tbsp cold water
Powdered sugar, for decorating

Optional flavorings

½ tsp vanilla or almond extract
½ lemon or orange, zested
1 tsp cinnamon or ground ginger

Directions

Preheat oven to 300°F.
Place the butter or margarine and sugar in a mixing bowl and beat until smooth.
Stir in the Loprofin Baking Mix and one or more optional flavorings from ingredient list above.
Using one hand, squeeze the mixture together while adding sufficient water to make a manageable ball of well-mixed dough.
Lightly dust your surface with Loprofin Baking Mix. Roll out the dough to about ¼-inch thickness.
Cut the dough into shapes using a cookie cutter and place onto a lightly greased baking tray.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until pale golden brown.
Remove cookies from baking tray while still warm and cool on a wire rack.
Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar or mix together a quick glaze of powdered sugar and water to drizzle over the top.
