Method
Place the butter, sugar, salt and flour into a bowl and use your fingertips to rub together until it resembled a breadcrumb texture.
Add in your perfect flavour combination (I have just gone for vanilla but given a few suggestions that could work well) and combine.
Use your hands to bring the dough into a ball then roll to approx. 1cm thick on a lightly floured surface. Use cutter to cut your desired shape and then place on a lined trey and put in the fridge for 45-60mins to firm up.
Bake for 15-18mins in an oven pre-heated to 160C until lightly golden on the edges. Allow to cool fully and then decorate before packaging ready to serve
