Ingredients

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour maida
3/4 cup butter room temperature
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
1/2 tsp salt
Few tbsp milk or oil

Method

* Powder sugar and keep readily available.

* Keep butter in room temperature.

* In a large mixing bowl, measure and take butter in room temperature.

* Mix the butter and sugar thoroughly into fine paste consistency as shown in the picture.

* Now sieve and add the maida flour.

* Half a teaspoon of salt.

* Mix again with a beater or spatula. It will turn into a crumbly texture.

* Add a tsp of vanilla essence and mix well.

* The dough becomes wet crumbly texture because of the butter.

* Start kneading again to form a whole crack less mass.

* If your dough is still powdery and able to knead, you can use few tbsp of oil or milk to knead.

* I used 2 tbsp of milk to form the dough as shown.

* Now shape the dough lengthwise and roll this dough in a paper wrap or baking paper tightly. I shaped it as square long dough so that it will easy for me to get square-shaped cookies. You can either make round or square-shaped butter cookies.

* Now keep the tightly wrapped dough inside a freezer for 30 mins to harden a bit.

* Preheat the oven to 180deg Celsius.

* Grease or line a baking tray and keep it ready

* After 30mins remove the dough from the wrap and cut into 1-inch thick slices as shown in the picture using a sharp knife.

* Place the cookie dough slices by giving enough space.

* Bake in convection mode for 15 mins.

* Once done, let them cool down for half an hour at least.

* Initially, the cookies look softer, but when they become completely cool it becomes crispy.
