Ausstecherle - Cut-out Biscuits

250 g flour
125 g sugar
1 tsp baking powder
125 g butter
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla essence
3 drops almond essence
50 g almonds, finely ground

Sift flour and baking powder onto the kitchen bench, and with the sugar make a pile with a hole in the middle with butter place around the outside.

Put the egg in the centre with the vanilla and almond essence.

Kneed all the ingredients together into a nice dough. Kneed in the ground almonds. Add a little more flour if the dough is too wet.

Prepare greased oven trays or line with baking paper.

Divide the dough into smaller parts. Sprinkle flour on the bench and roll out part of the dough.

Use cut-out shapes and cut out pieces of the dough and place them on the baking trays.

Pre-heat oven at 200°C and bake for about 10 minutes.
