MY Family Cocoa Vanilla Butter Cookies [CNY 2014]

This is a combination of vanilla and cocoa flavour butter cookies.  The recipe is same as my previous postings on MY Family Butter Cookies and MY Cocoa Butter Cookies.  All these cookies were made the same day but I posted them separately for easy reference.  It is just a combination of both dough place in the star nozzle and pressed out to form the dual colour and flavour cookies.

This recipe makes about 240 pieces.

1 small egg

1/2 tsp vanilla essence

1/4 tsp salt

1. Cream butter and icing sugar until light.  Add egg, vanilla essence and salt.  Continue beating until creamy and fluffy.
2. Stir in sifted flour and mix until well combined.
