1/3 cup butter
1/4 cup vanilla sugar plus 2 tbsp for coating
1 no egg
1/4 tsp vanilla essence
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt

Instructions

To a mixing bowl add butter vanilla sugar.Cream it well using a hand whisk.
Add vanilla essence, I used my homemade vanilla essence.Add an egg.
Whisk well then add salt followed bu wheat flour and baking powder.
Mix well, then gather together to form a dough.Use a tbsp measure to scoop out for even shaped cookies.While you do this preheat oven at 180 deg C.
Roll into a ball, coat over vanilla sugar on all sides.
Slightly flatten it.Arrange on the baking tray lined with butter paper.Bake in preheated oven 180 deg C for 10-12 mins or until the edges turn golden.
Cool down completely then store in airtight container.

Notes

I expected the cookies to spread so flattened it only slightly.But it did not spread so mine took time(12 mins) to get baked.
If you want thin cookies then flatten more and then bake for 8-10 mins.
If you don't have vanilla sugar then replace it with regular white sugar and add 1/2 tsp vanilla essence for more flavor.
