Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 250 g all-purpose flour About 2 cups
  • 100 g powdered sugar About 1/2 cup
  • 90 g instant vanilla pudding mix About 2 packets
  • 2 packets vanilla sugar Or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Wet Ingredients
  • 250 g soft butter 1 cup or 2 sticks
For Dusting
  • to taste powdered sugar For dusting the cookies

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients: flour, powdered sugar, vanilla pudding mix, and vanilla sugar. Stir until well combined.
  2. Add the soft butter to the dry ingredients. Blend everything into a smooth dough using your hands or a mixer.
  3. Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and chill in the refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes.
Baking
  1. Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) with the fan or 180°C (350°F) for conventional heat.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Shape the chilled dough into small balls, each weighing about 10 to 12 grams (about 1 inch), and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Gently flatten each ball with a fork to create a pattern on top.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies are light golden.
  6. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the pan until they firm up.
  7. Dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

Chilling the dough is crucial for the cookies to hold their shape. Consider adding mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts for variety. Check for doneness a couple of minutes before the end of the baking time.
