Instructions
1
Cream the softened butter and 18g sugar together until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes with a hand mixer.
2
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together, then fold into the wet mixture until a soft dough forms.
4
Cover the dough and chill for 30 minutes so it firms up enough to shape.
5
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
6
Divide the dough into 2 equal balls, roll each in the reserved 5g sugar, and flatten slightly onto the sheet, spaced well apart.
7
Bake for 10-11 minutes until the edges are just turning golden but the centres still look soft.
8
Cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to firm up completely before serving.
