1 Cup =250 Grams

  • ½ Cup Powdered Sugar
  • ½ Cup Butter Link for Homemade Butter
  • 1 Cup Maida / All Purpose Flour
  • ⅛ tsp Salt
  • ½ tsp Vanilla Essence

Instructions
 

  • First, measure and keep all the ingredients ready. Butter should be soft at room temperature or use melted butter. In a mixing bowl, place a sieve and sift the powdered sugar.
  • Then add the butter, using a hand whisk or electric beater, blend for 2 minutes, till smooth.
  • Sift the maida and salt.
  • Whisk the dough for 1 minute, it looks like biscuits crumbs now. Pour the vanilla essence and combine the dough (don't knead). Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.
  • By the meantime, preheat the oven for 10 minutes at 180° / 360F and also line a baking tray with butter paper and dust with some flour. Combine the dough again and make small-sized smooth balls. Using a fork, make an impression on each ball and arrange the cookie dough on the tray by leaving a 2-inch gap.
  • Keep the tray in the centre rack and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, till the base turns a slightly golden colour. Don't bake more than that, as the cookies get burnt easily. Remove the cookies from the tray, place it in a wire rack and allow it to cool completely. First, the cookies seem soft but it turns crispy as it cools down.  Store the cookies in a dry and airtight container.

Notes

Tips for Butter Biscuit Recipe

1.The butter should be at room temperature and soft, so it will be easy to whisk.
2. Don't add butter more than mentioned, else the cookies turn flat or starts to melt while baking itself.
3. For a healthy version, maida can be replaced with atta too or an equal quantity of both the flours can be used.
4. Even 1/2 tsp of nutmeg or cardamom powder can be used as a flavouring agent. I used vanilla essence.
5. For a different look, 1 small piece of cashew, almond or raisin can be pressed in the cookie dough before baking.
6. Ensure to bake the cookies till the base turns to golden colour, it takes 12 to 15 minutes.
7. Once removed from the oven the COOKIES WILL BE SOFT, but it turns crispy when it cools down completely.
FAQ
At what texture the dough should be ?
1.The dough for this Eggless Butter Biscuit Recipe should not be too sticky or too dry. If the dough is too sticky, add little APF to the dough, if added more the cookies turn dense and taste different. If the dough turns dry just sprinkle little milk and knead again.
2.Why my cookies turn hard and taste bitter?
If you knead the dough very tightly and bake for more than the mentioned time it turns hard. Also it turns bitter and smell burnt.
3.What is the correct baking time and temperature?
a. Baking time and temperature varies from oven to oven. If using microwave oven, use convection mode and bake for 10 to 15 minutes at 180c.

b. The baking time will be almost the same for OTG. Place the wire rack in the center and make sure that the bottom rod alone is heated, that’s the bake mode.
