Ingredients
- 150 grams Unsalted Butter ⅓ pound softened
- ¾ cup Sugar 150 grams powdered
- 1½ cup All Purpose Flour | Maida 180 grams
- ½ teaspoon Baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon Baking soda
Instructions

- Take flour, baking soda and baking powder in a bowl and mix them well. Set this aside till use.
- Now in another mixing bowl. Take butter and powdered sugar. Cream this well so it turns fluffy. Now add in the flour mixture and mix well so it forms a soft dough.
- Now pinch small portions from it and shape them into balls. Arrange this in a foil lined baking sheet. Press them little with your fingers. Use a fork to make some impression on them.

- Store them in an air tight container and serve with milk.
Notes
Use room temperature butter – It gives cookies a perfect texture and mixes better with sugar.
Measure flour correctly – The cookies may get dry if you use too much flour, so always level off the measuring cup.
Don’t over bake – As they cool, they get firmer, even though they may appear soft at first.
