Walnut Butter Cookies

It's baking time again!
Ingredients:
60g unsalted butter
120g plain flour
60g icing sugar
3 tsps beaten egg
Peeled whole walnuts
Method:
1. Place butter and flour into a mixing bowl, cut butter in the flour into small pieces. Rub butter with finger tips or dough blender into flour until mixture resemble fine breadcrumbs. Stir in icing sugar. Add in beaten egg to form a dough. Fold walnut into the dough.
2. Roll the dough into a sausage shape, then pat the sides flat to form a square long. Wrap the dough with plastic wrap and chill for 1-2 hours.
3. Remove the dough from the refreigerator and unwrap. Cut with a breadknife into 1/2cm thick slices. Place on a baking sheet lined properly with a piece of baking paper. Put into the preheated oven to bake at 180 celcius for 12-15 minutes or unitl golden brown. Transfer to a cooling rack.
Reminder: Air trapped in between dough and walnuts should best be squeezed out before baking or walnuts will easily fall down after baking.
