   Ingredients

  

Ingredient	Quantity
All purpose flour/maida	1 cup
Butter/vennai	1/2 cup or 1 stick
Custard powder	5 tbs
Icing sugar or powdered sugar	5-6 tbs
Salt	a pinch

    Method 

• Preheat the oven at 350F.In a bowl take the butter,salt and powdered sugar.Cream it well,to this add the all purpose flour and custard powder.

• Mix it well to form a soft dough.Make a smooth ball out of the dough and keep it on a lined baking tray.Gently press each ball with a fork to create some designs on the cookie.

• If you feel the dough is too soft,keep the tray in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.Bake it in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes.Remove it from the oven and cool it on a wire rack.

• Store it in an air tight container.

• The cookies will be crispy once its completely cool down.Do not bake it more than 18 minutes.
• Instead of icing sugar,regular sugar can be powdered and used.
• If you feel the dough is so soft,keep it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to avoid spreading.
• Since I used the vanilla flavored custard powder I didn't add any extra flavoring agent.
• The butter should be in room temperature.
• If salted butter is used then no need to add salt.
• Here I used 5 tbs of sugar and the sweetness was just perfect.But if you want a sweeter version use another 1-2 tbs.
