Introduction

These are my family's favorite cookies. My husband just adores these cookies and now, my three year old daughter is a fan of these. For her, I cut these cookies with numbers and alphabets cookie cutters and make her learn them. She enjoys both eating and learning.

Metric Cups

200 grams butter (cubed)

Preheat the oven to 180 c.

Mix and sift flour, baking powder, sugar and custard powder in a large bowl.

Add butter cubes and mix it in the flour with your fingertips. (I use my free standing mixer), till it resembles like bread crumbs.

Gradually, add just enough milk to bring the dough together, a teaspoon at a time. You don’t have to knead the dough.

Now, lay the dough on a lightly floured surface and very gently bring it together to form a ball.

Roll out the dough and cut it with the cutters of desired shapes.

Lay them on a greased cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes.

Let them cool in the baking tray for 5 minutes, and then transfer to the cooling rack.
