Easy Vanilla Cookies Recipe – Honest Mum

Posted on

These easy vanilla cookies are a firm favourite in this house, and you can transform them into chocolate chip cookies if you like, simply by adding chocolate chips into the mixture. As a cookie purist (ha), I do love them just as they are: vanilla (even if the kids sprinkled mini mashmallows all over them)!

Preheat the oven to 170°C.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the sugar and butter together or add to an electric mixer and beat until smooth. Add the eggs, vanilla extract and stir.

Next add the flour, baking powder, salt and cinammon and stir thorough. You can add chocolate chips if you like.

Create balls from the cookie dough and shape (approx 4 tbsps of mixture per cookie). Next, place each cookie onto a greased baking tray or over parchment paper approx 9 cm apart to allow space for them to spread when baking.

Bake for 15 minutes until golden.
