2,5 ml salt
250 g butter
5 ml bicarbonate of soda
30 ml milk
2 eggs (Large)
5 ml vanilla essence

Preheat oven to 180ºC.

- Mix well to form smooth dough.
- Cover the dough with plastic foil and place in fridge for 30 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface roll the dough out to 4 mm thickness and press out with cookie cutter of your choice. Mine was almost to thick, so be careful of that.
