Ingredients

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 |

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.
Enjoy..................
