Santa cookie jar

This jar is making its way to the plaza of St James' Church tomorrow morning, to be served as nibbles for the Ministries Fair. A prayer I've have "churned" in these sweeties that a chew of them send a magnetic current to the other hand not holding the cookie; to pick up the pen and pen their lovely names on the volunteers list. We'll see....

Recipe:

250g salted butter
200g flour + adjustment if necessary
200g potato starch
1/2 tsp baking powder (optional)
150g fine sugar
1 egg 
1/4 cup each red and green sweeten chicory

1/2  tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp rum essence
1/2 tsp fruits flavour 

• Cream butter and sugar till very light  
• Add in egg in 3 go (avoid curdling) and blend well
• Add vanilla and fruit essence
• Lastly combine the flours and chicory with butter mixture
• Form a smooth non-sticky dough and put it plastic bag.
• Rest dough at least one hour, best overnight in fridge (allows flour to fully absorb the butter n egg).
• Use ice-cream scoop to shape the cookie 
• Flatten the top with a fork.
• Bake in hot oven 150 degrees
• When see a tiny tinge of goldeness (around 10 mins), turn off oven and leaves cookies in oven till they are golden colour. This ensures a crunchy top that lasts.
• Total baking time - about 15 minutes...Easy peasy!
