This recipe for easy slice and bake cookies comes with 9 flavour ideas! Perfect for school lunches or homemade gifts, the cookie dough can be made in advance and frozen for cookies in a snap!
Cream butter & both sugars in the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl with a hand mixer on high speed until light & fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until well combined.
Add flour, cornflour, baking powder & salt and mix on low speed until combined. Add your chosen mix-ins and beat on low speed until combined.
Split dough in half and shape each half into a roll about 20cm long. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours. At this point, you can also put the rolls in the freezer.
Heat the oven to 180°C/350°F.
Remove the cookie rolls from the fridge, unwrap and slice into 1cm thick slices, lay out on a lined baking tray with 2-3 cm between cookies and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until starting to go golden.
Allow to cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
Store in an airtight container for 1 week.
