- Step 4: Divide the dough into three equal parts.
- Step 5: Shape each part into a roll and place them on a baking tray lined with non-stick baking paper. Leave enough space between rolls, as the cookies will spread during baking.

Tips & Variations

- If you prefer softer cookies, reduce baking time by 1-2 minutes.
- Add chopped nuts or chocolate chips into the dough for extra texture and flavor.
Storage

FAQs
Can I use vanilla extract instead of vanilla powder?
Yes, vanilla extract works well as a substitute. Use about 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract in place of 2 teaspoons of vanilla powder.
What is the best way to cut the cookies without breaking them?
Cut the cookie rolls immediately after baking while they are still warm. This allows for clean diagonal slices without cracking or breaking.

- 175 g Flour (6.1 oz) (1.4 cups), all-purpose
- 2 tsp Vanilla powder (or vanilla extract)
- ½ tsp Baking powder
- 3 tbsp Honey (or 2 tbsp Golden Syrup for toffee flavour)
Instructions
- Preheat: Preheat your oven to 180°C (356℉) to ensure it reaches the right temperature before baking the cookies.
- Mix Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, providing a light texture to the cookies.
- Add Remaining Ingredients: Add the flour, vanilla powder, baking powder, and honey or golden syrup to the butter mixture. Blend all ingredients well until a uniform dough forms.
- Divide Dough: Divide the dough evenly into three parts to manage the baking process better and allow enough space for spreading.
- Shape Rolls: Shape each portion of dough into a roll and place them on a baking tray lined with non-stick baking paper. Remember to leave enough space between rolls as they spread during baking.
- Flatten Rolls: Gently flatten each dough roll with your finger to prepare them for even baking.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
- Cut Warm: Immediately after removing from the oven, carefully cut the rolls diagonally while the dough is still warm to create individual cookies.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing to maintain their perfect texture.
Notes

- Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing and better texture.
- Cut the cookies immediately after baking while still warm for clean slices.
