Ingredients:
| Butter | 1 cup |
| All purpose flour/Maida | 2 cup |
| Confectioner sugar | 3/4 cup |
| Vanilla Essence | 1 tspoon |
| Salt | 1/4 tspoon |
| Jam(optional) | 5 to 6 tspoon |
Preparation:
(1) Take a bowl and sieve flour two times. To this add salt. Mix well. Take required sugar in another vessel. Keep both bowls aside.
(2) Take butter (at room temperature) in a large bowl. Beat it until smooth and creamy using electric mixer or hand mixer. I used electric mixer and beat it for less than 1 minute.
(3) To this creamy butter add powdered sugar. Beat till it mix well. To this add vanilla essence and beat again. Now add sieved flour to this beat well until incorporated. Now you will obtain a thick dough. Make a round shape structure.
(4) Place this dough in a plastic sheet. Flatten it into a disk shape using hand. Wrap it with the plastic sheet and keep it in refrigerator for 1 hour(This will make the dough firm which helps in easy cutting).
(5) After 1 hour remove the plastic wrap and place the dough in a lightly floured surface. Roll out the dough into an even thickness(around .6 or .7 cm). Cut into your desired shapes. I used a heart shaped cookie cutter. Repeat the same process with the remaining dough.
(6)Preheat your oven to 350 degree F. Take an oven safe dish and line it with foil paper. Place the prepared shapes over the foil paper and keep it in oven for 10 to 15 minutes(You can also design the shapes with jam which is optional. For that make a slight dent on the centre of prepared shapes using your thumb. Pour 1/4 tspoon of jam over the dent. Now keep it in oven).
(9) Keep an eye after 10 minutes. Bake it till the cookies are very lightly browned. Remove from oven .Your butter cookies are now ready.
(2) Take butter (at room temperature) in a large bowl. Beat it until smooth and creamy using electric mixer or hand mixer. I used electric mixer and beat it for less than 1 minute.
(3) To this creamy butter add powdered sugar. Beat till it mix well. To this add vanilla essence and beat again. Now add sieved flour to this beat well until incorporated. Now you will obtain a thick dough. Make a round shape structure.
Store your cookies in an airtight container and enjoy….:)
Tips:
- You can use electric mixer or hand mixer to beat. Hand mixer takes more time.
- Chilling the dough in refrigerator will make it firm so that you can cut the cookies easily.
