Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
90g ground almonds
1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup caster sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp almond extract
Icing Sugar to decorate
**Please note other cookie recipes can of course be used!**
Method:
1. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees farenheight, 180 degrees celsius or gas mark 4. Whisk together flour, cinnamon, salt and baking powder, set aside. In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground almonds.
2. Mix together the butter and caster sugar. Mix in egg, then blend in vanilla and almond extract.
3. Mix in the almond mixture, then with mixer set on low speed, slowly add in the flour mixture and mix until it is all fully combined.
4. Dust the work surface with flour, and get the combined mixture (should be a dough) and roll out with a rolling pin, into 1/8 to 1/6-inch thickness.
5. Cut into the pacman shapes using the cookie cutters.
6. Carefully transfer to parchment paper lined baking sheets (you can run a sharp knife or pastry scaper under cookies to help lift them if needed!), spacing cookies 1-inch apart.
7. Bake in preheated oven 10 - 12 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
8. Cool on baking sheet several minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Prepare the icing sugar, it needs to be quite thick. Use various dies to achieve the right colours and use piping icing for finer details such as the eyes.
