    • 125g butter, softened
    • 1/2 tsp vanilla
    • 1 cup brown sugar
    • 2 eggs
    • 2 1/2 cups plain flour
    • 1 tsp baking powder

    Method

    Step 1
    Beat butter, vanilla and sugar until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well. Finally, mix in flour and baking powder until just combined.

    Form cookie mixture into two logs, approximately 6cm diameter. Wrap in baking paper and refrigerate for at least an hour.

    Step 4
    Place rounds onto lined baking trays, leaving room for the cookies to spread.

    Use candies to create Christmas tree shapes on the top of each cookie, pressing them gently into the dough.

    Step 6
    Bake for 10 minutes until golden brown.

    Note

    • If mini M&M’s are unavailable, you can purchase candies in the baking section of the supermarket.
    • For a quick short cut, purchase pre-made cookie dough.
