- 100 g castor sugar
- 1 egg extra-large
- 1 egg yolk extra-large
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 350 g cake flour
- ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Add the softened butter and sugar to a food processor. Pulse until well combined and there are no lumps of butter.
- First, add the whole egg to the creamed mixture with the food processor running, and pulse until combined. Then add the egg yolk and vanilla and pulse again.
- Sift together the flour and salt and add this flour mixture to the egg and butter mixture all at once. Pulse until a dough forms, do not overmix.
- Remove the dough from the food processor, cover it in cling film, and refrigerate for an hour.
- Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F) and line two large baking trays with parchment paper.
- Remove the chilled dough from the fridge and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of ½ cm ( ¼ inch) using a rolling pin.
- Use heart-shaped cookie cutters to shape the dough. Place the cookies onto the prepared baking tray in a single layer.
- Bake the cookies in a preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the cookies are light golden brown. Allow the baked cookies to cool on a cooling rack.
