Can I use melted butter instead of oil?Will it change the texture and taste?
Aarthi
@shubhayes ofcourse you could use melted butter. It wont affect the texture, it will remain same.

I tried this yesterday.i loved the smell and taste as i cannot custard flavour.
but i felt the cookie was bit hard.is it the nature of wheat flour cookie or did i over bake
in the 12th minute it wasn't fully cooked so i it for another 3 mins by then the base became dark brown
other mistakes are:
i made it too flat thinking it would rise
i mixed the dry ingredients and took a long time to knead as i was held up with something else.Will the presence of bak.soda and powder for long time make it hard?but i just mixed didn't knead
Aarthi
@cindhujaU have over baked it..the cookies will look soft when u take it out of oven, but as it cools it will get harder..so dont baked longer than the mentioned time..

Hi! I have tried so many recipes of yours and all of them came out so perfect.. I have been praised by all for food...But actually all the credit goes to you...sorry for the long post...I want to ask you can I use maida here in this recipe..
Aarthi
@Deepa Guptayes u can use maida
Madhu
Hi aarthi, tried these cookies today. Liked the custard flavor.
But for 1 cup of flour i required 5 tbsp of milk to form a dough. You added only 1 tbsp.
And my cookies didn't expand as yours added raising agents as mentioned.
I approximately got 20 medium sized cookies. You mentioned as only 10.
Aarthi
@Madhui think u haven't measured properly. Too much milk wont make the cookies spread
Theresa Monteiro

Hi.
You mentioned to line a baking tray with foil. But in pics there is no foil. Is it okay to skip foil and just oil the baking tray well ?
Aarthi
since i used glass i didn;t line it with foil. if you use normal tray line it with foil
