Butter Cookies, Frances' Style

[franceslievens]

Needed: 120g soft butter, 120g of sugar, 1 egg, 200g of flower flour, 1 3yo in possession of the Miffy Baking Set.

- Adorn 3yo with Miffy apron and Miffy chef's cap.
- Put butter and sugar in bowl. Let 3yo stir them together.
- Break egg. Let 3yo mix it with butter and sugar.
- Put flour in Miffy flour-shaker so 3yo can sieve it into butter-sugar-egg-mixture.
- Notice Miffy flour-shaker needs a bit more shaking power before it'll work.
- Do the sieving in 3yo's stead.
- Let 3yo stir everything together.
- Do some additional stirring to get a smooth dough (add flour if too smooth).
- Put dough on table covered with baking paper.
- Roll dough till it's 0.5cm thick.
- Let 3yo have a go at rolling.
- Make cookies with push-out figures.
- Put cookies on baking tray.
- Put in oven at 180°C until brown (10 to 25 min).

The thin, crunchy cookies cool off pretty quickly, so don't wait too long to have a taste. Plus they're all for you. 3yo likes to bake cookies, but seeing them finished will decide against tasting. Enjoy!

Psssst. You confused me. The stuff for baking is flour. (Pronunciation is about the same though.)

Ack! That's what you get when you use the same word in Dutch, and the one in English sounds almost the same and then you think it follows the Dutch strangeism. Sorry! *off to edit*

I lack a 3yo but I may give it a try nevertheless.

Just remember to use 200g of flour and not of assorted flowers. *hangs head in shame*

Actualy my 3yo comes short of a week to be an actual 3yo, but who minds, hey? ;-)
