The quickest homebaked cookies ever!

These cookies take no time at all to make! Just 10 minutes in the oven and a few minutes to let them cool a bit. So if you have these sudden urges for cookies, like I have every once a while... get baking!! 

125 grams margarine
125 grams of white sugar
200 grams (wheat) flour
1 packet of vanilla sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder

 
Instead of 200 grams (wheat) flour and 1 teaspoon of baking powder and 200 grams of self-raising flour can also be used.

Use another 125 grams of white or brown caster sugar instead of the white sugar. The cookies will taste slightly different,  but still very tasty.

Let the margarine melt in a saucepan just until it is slightly brown and all melted. Take the pan from the heat and let the butter cool a bit.
Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Now put all ingredients in a bowl. Knead by hand or with a mixer with dough hooks. Form small balls of dough. The balls should be about 1.5 to 2 inches diameter. 

Place the dough balls on a baking tray lined with baking paper. It is not necessary to flatten the balls, because the biscuits will naturally flatten out in the hot oven. Bake for 10 minutes (until the edges just begin to brown). No longer, otherwise they will become too hard when they have cooled. Let them cool a bit on a rack before indulging yourself with these yummie cookies.

Enjoy with a cuppa tea or coffee!
