Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Custard powder
- 150 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 80 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Milk (optional, if needed)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Add the vanilla extract to the creamed butter mixture and mix until well combined.
Sift together the all-purpose flour and custard powder in a separate bowl, then gradually add these dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Mix until a soft, smooth dough forms.
If the dough feels too crumbly, add 1 tablespoon of milk and knead gently until the dough comes together.
Divide the dough into small, equal-sized portions (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving slight space between each.
Flatten each ball slightly with a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to one week. Enjoy!
