Butter Cookies
You’ll need:
|
All Purpose Flour
|
1 cup
|
|
Whole Wheat Flour
|
1/2 cup
|
|
Butter
|
1/2 cup
|
|
Sugar
|
1/2 cup
|
|
Egg
|
1
|
|
Salt
|
2 pinch
|
|
Vanilla Essence
|
1 tsp
|
Method:
Preheat the oven to 200 C (400 F). Grease an oven proof plate with butter and keep it ready. Sieve together the flours and salt.
In a large bowl, beat together the butter and white sugar until it turns creamy, light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, then add the vanilla essence. Give it a stir. Now start adding the flour mixture little by little into the sugar mixture.
Mix it till a soft dough forms. It might be a bit sticky. Cover this dough in a butter paper and refrigerate for at least an hour.
Cut out the chilled dough with cookie cutters onto the greased plate.Bake for 12 to 15 mins in the preheated oven or till done. Remove from plate to cool on wire racks. Once cooled down completely, store in an airtight container and enjoy with your hot cup of tea or coffee.
Notes:
|
I used my coffee decoction filter’s lid as a cutter to get big sized cookies.
You can skip wheat flour and use All purpose flour or vice versa.
If the dough is still sticky after chilled use some more flour for dusting while shaping them.

perfect post. i love it.
can u suggest me to make it without eggs
When baking cookies, i always have confusion deciding when the cookies are done. So, i sometimes end up with hard cookies.
Do we have any toothpick insertion kind of test to find out if the cookies are done?
Hi Sweeya, unfortunately that test wont work for cookies. I mostly go by my nose with the aroma or you can just turn off the oven 2 minutes earlier than the mentioned baking time and let the tray inside the oven itself for that time for it to set well without letting it become hard or getting burned.
Tried these. A bit hit in my house. Thanks for the recipes.
Thank you very much Sweeya. I’m so glad that everyone at your home loved it.
