Cream together the butter and sugar (sachet 1) with an electric mixer for 1 minute until pale, then mix in the egg yolk until well combined. Stir in the cookie mix (sachet 2) to form a dough –  you may need to use your hands to bring it together.

Roll out the dough between two sheets of baking paper until about 5mm thick and chill for 1 hour until firm.

Preheat your oven to 180°C and line two oven trays with baking paper. 

Cut out shapes from the sheet of dough using cookie cutters and place on the prepared baking trays. Any dough scraps can be rerolled to cut out more cookies.

Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until golden and crisp, then allow to cool. 

Tip: This dough can also be shaped into a log and stored in the freezer for quick and easy slice-and-bake cookies. Simply shape the prepared dough into a thick log (about 5cm in diameter) and tightly roll in a piece of cling wrap. Chill in the freezer until firm, and cut into 5mm-thick slices using a sharp knife – if the dough is crumbling as you cut it, set the log aside at room temperature to soften slightly. Bake as per the recipe above.
