Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted

½ cup caster sugar

egg white from 2 eggs

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup butter, softened

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Cooking procedure

1. Cream the butter using an electric mixer then gradually add the sugar. 

    Continue mixing for another 2 minutes.

2. Stir-in the egg whites gradually and mix for about 3 to 4 minutes more.

3. Add salt and vanilla extract.

4. Gradually stir-in the flour and mix until the mixture is well incorporated.

5. Place the mixture in a piping bag with a round tip. I used a catsup 

    dispenser as substitute the first time I did this recipe since piping 

    bag was unavailable.

6. Preheat turbo broiler to 175°C.

7. On a baking tray lined with parchment paper, begin piping the mixture. 

    Each piece should be about 2.5 to 3 inches in length.

8. Bake for 6 to 7 minutes.

9. Remove from turbo broiler and place in a cookie rack until the

    temperature cools down.
