At a glance
You're looking at a straightforward cookie project that takes about an hour and a half from start to finish, mostly waiting time for chilling and baking. The main things you'll be doing are mixing a simple dough, letting it rest in the fridge, rolling and cutting out shapes, then baking until golden. The biggest time commitment is the chill time, but that's perfect for getting other things done or bringing the kids in to help with the fun cutting-out part.

Mix all the ingredients together and chill the dough in the fridge for an hour. You might need a bit more flour if the dough feels sticky β that's just because eggs vary in size.

Cut out the cookies
Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 4 mm and cut out the cookies. I used cookie stamps for mine. Bake on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, in an oven preheated to 170 Β°C, fan setting.
