Edible Gift Tags – Vanilla Cookie Recipe
Makes 30 cookies
Ingredients:
185g butter
1 cup caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 vanilla bean, seeds only
2¼ cups flour
1 egg
200g good-quality white chocolate
Method:
Preheat oven to 180°C.
Place butter, sugar and vanillas in a food processor and blend until smooth.
Add egg and flour and process until a soft dough forms.
Knead dough lightly and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface.
Cut into gift-tag shapes using a sharp knife or cookie cutter and place on baking trays. Pierce one end of cookie using a floured toothpick.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Cool on racks.
Heat chocolate in double boiler. Allow chocolate to cool slightly. Fill a piping bag with half the chocolate.
Pipe out gift recipients’ names on cookies and dip into remaining chocolate. Allow to cool, before threading a piece of cotton through the hole. (If the hole is closed after cooking, use a toothpick again to carefully to push through.)
Use cookies as gift tags or on a place setting, tied to a fresh fig or to a small box of ganache truffles.
