The Pulselive Twist for crumbly Sugar Cookies

With any and all baked goods how you mix the ingredients always has a drastic (and sometimes dramatic) effect on the finished product.

This week, the Pulselive Twist is a very simple ingredient that is often overlooked and altogether disregarded when it comes to baking pastries - salt!

A pinch or half a teaspoon of salt is always a life-changer for baked goods. Salt enhances flavours.

The main ingredient in sugar cookies is sugar, which can be overwhelming, just a bit of salt will balance out the sweetness to make the cookie more palatable.

<ul><li>In a large bowl cream together the margarine/butter, salt and sugar until sugar particles are completely dissolved.</li><li>Add the two eggs and mix well. Mix in the baking powder and vanilla essence.</li><li>Mix in the flour, one cup at a time until well combined. In case the flour does not lump together, add a few tablespoons of milk gradually to mix.</li></ul>

<ul><li>In case you can still see sugar crystals in your cookie dough, leave it to rest for about 30 minutes before you roll it out.</li></ul>

<ul><li>Roll out the dough into about 1 centimetre thick and cut out cookies as desired. This amount of dough should yield at least 30 cookies depending on your cookie cutter size.</li></ul>

<ul><li>If you have a non-stick oven tray that would be ideal for the cookies but in case you don't, feel free to improvise with a pizza tray or a baking tin. You may need to spread some margarine on the surface and dust it with flour before you lay the cookies.</li></ul>

<ul><li>Heat your oven at about 225 degrees Celsius.</li><li>Bake these cookies for strictly 8 MINUTES. Depending on the heat of your oven, the edges of the cookie may brown but they don't worry if they don't, the cookie will be ready in eight minutes.</li></ul>
