Hey all ! I am back with another baking recipe :-) 

I recently baked these cookies for my friend's 

dinner party & it came out pretty good.. It tastes 

like butter biscuits that we used to buy for 50 paise

or so when we were kids :-)  

BUTTER COOKIES / BUTTER BISCUITS RECIPE:

Recipe cuisine: Indian / Recipe category: Snack

 Prep time: 1 hr  30 mins / cook time: 20 mins

FOR THE DOUGH:

All purpose flour / Maida : 1 cup

Powdered sugar : 1/4 cup

Unsalted butter : 1/2 cup

Salt : 1/4 tsp

Vanilla essence : 1/2 tsp

METHOD:

Butter should be in room temperature.

Pls do not melt it. Beat the butter till it 

becomes fluffy. Add sugar & vanilla 

essence & beat again.

At this stage add liquid color (optional)

& beat again till fluffy.

Now mix flour & salt to the beaten butter.

Knead dough & if it is sticky add 1 tsp /

2 tsp of flour. 

 

Roll it about 1/4 inch thick & wrap it 

with clear wrap. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

After an hour it will be stiff. Now using 

cookie cutter make desired shapes :-)

Arrange in baking tray & refrigerate for

another 30 mins. Preheat oven 325 F or 

160 deg C. Bake for 16 - 20 mins or till

the sides change color. Check around 

15 mins as oven power may vary..

Enjoy crispy & light butter cookies :-)

NOTE:

* It is important to refrigerate the dough twice.

* Do not let the dough outside for long

as it will become sticky.

* If the dough becomes sticky, refrigerate

it again.

*If you have left over dough refrigerate 

& reuse it.

* After baking, once the sides change color 

pls take it out & do not over bake it. The 

center portion might be soft & will become

firm after cooling down.

* If you are using salted butter, pls do 

not add salt.
