Tree Stump Cookies

RECIPE

125 g butter
½ cup icing sugar
⅓ cup cornflour
¼ cup oil
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
~1 ½ cups flour (as needed for dough)
1 tablespoon cocoa powder

Method
1. In a bowl, cream together the butter and icing sugar until smooth.

2. Mix in the cornflour, then add oil and vanilla essence.

3. Add flour gradually until a soft dough forms.

4. Divide the dough into two equal parts.
Leave one portion plain.
Mix cocoa powder into the other portion.


5. Roll out both doughs separately between two sheets of plastic into rectangular shapes.

6. Place the plain dough over the cocoa dough and roll tightly into a log using the plastic.

7. Freeze for a few minutes until firm.

8. Slice the log into rounds. Shape into cookies and use the back of a knife to make bark-like indents along the sides (to resemble tree rings/stumps).

9. Bake at 180°C until lightly golden and baked through
