Ingredients
500g butter
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 cup icing sugar
1 cup corn flour
3 cups flour

Preheat the oven to 180°C. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, vanilla essence and the icing sugar. Add the cornflour next and then the flour. It will form a soft dough. Roll out onto lightly floured surface and form shapes using cookie cutters. If you have a biscuit gun, fill and cut into shapes. Place on a greased tray and bake for 15 minutes.
When cooled you can dip into chocolate and add sprinkles.
