Homemade Old-Fashioned Licorice AllSorts Cookies

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until it becomes light and fluffy.

Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract, and mix well until fully incorporated.

Gradually add the sifted flour and a pinch of salt. Stir until the dough starts to come together.

Fold in the finely chopped licorice allsorts candy. Ensure it is evenly spread throughout the dough.

Roll out the dough to a thickness of around 1 cm, and use a cookie cutter to cut out your desired shapes.

Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they are spaced apart to allow for spreading.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown.

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serve these delectable licorice allsort cookies with a cup of tea or coffee, and enjoy!
