3-2-1 and an egg

This is my childhood butter cookie. An easy Danish treat! an who can't remember 3-2-1 and an egg?
I think that being in the kitchen with kids at ALL ages is important and fun. My children have been a part of our kitchen since they were born. Sitting and watching from the Babybjorn and later in a high chair, getting to touch everything and squeeze, taste and smell.

Ingredients

  • 300 gram flour
  • 200 gram sugar
  • 100 gram butter
  • 1 egg

Directions

  1. Mix it all together into a nice smooth dough. Let rest in the fridge for 20 minutes.
  2. Cut small pieces, roll them in your hands into small balls and place them on a baking sheet. gently flatten the cookies out with a wet fork, dipped in cold-water to get the strips in the cookie.
  3. Bake for 12 minutes at 150C, 320F, until golden.
  4. I add to the cookies more flavors that I love in cookies. Here are some ideas:
  5. Vanilla almost a must in any cookie- a few drops of vanilla essence.
  6. Orange zest from half an orange or lemon zest from half a lemon. Try to cut long thin strips to get some color in the cookies.
  7. Coconut flakes- I adore coconut and in these crispy butter cookies it is delicious.
  8. Sliced almonds.
  9. Chocolate chips.
  10. Craisins or raisins.
  11. Also we like to dip half a cookie in chocolate or rainbow sprinkles or raw sugar, before baking or in melted chocolate after baking and cooling the cookies.
  12. Keep the cookies in an airtight container for a week or two, not that you will have any left that long....
  13. I have many many more ideas of things you can bake or make with your kids.
  14. Have fun, that is what it is all about.
