Directions
Make these with the kids for an hour of messy fun – and some deliciously crumbly cookies to show for it. Or add your own flavourings to vary.
1. Butter and line 2 large baking sheets with baking paper. Heat oven to 200 °C/fan 180 °C/gas 6. Beat together the sugar and butter until pale and creamy. Stir in the remaining ingredients until you have a soft dough. Roll the dough into walnut-sized pieces and space out generously on the lined baking sheets. If you have time, leave to chill in the fridge for 30 mins at this point.
2. Bake the cookies for 12-15 mins until lightly golden; they will still feel quite soft in the middle. Leave on baking sheets until firm, about 5 mins, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
