Tea Cookies


These must be one of the easiest cookies to make. I pressed them through my cookie press, but you can also pipe them or simply place a spoonful on the tray and press them down with a fork. Not too sweet either. Just right.

150g butter
75gms caster sugar
1 egg, beaten
few drops almond essence
225g flour
glace cherries or candied peel to decorate

Preheat oven to 230c. Line two baking sheets with baking paper.
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy then beat in egg, almond essence and flour.
Spoon, pipe or press mixture onto baking sheets, place 1/2 glace cherry or candied peel on top and bake for 5 minutes or until golden brown. How easy is that?
