Eggless Butter Cookies Recipe | What Is The Recipe Of Eggless Butter Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 100 gms Butter
- 1/2 tsp Baking powder
- 1/2 cup Cane sugar or white sugar fine
- 1 tsp Vanilla essence
- 1/2 cup Milk cold
Instructions
-
Mix together whole wheat flour and baking powder.
-
Add cold butter cut into small pieces so that it's easier to mix them with the flour.
-
With your fingertips mix the butter with the flour. You have to do this step a bit quickly otherwise the warmth of your hand might melt the butter.
-
Once the butter is mixed with the flour, you will get a breadcrumb like texture.
-
Now add sugar, vanilla essence and with the help of cold milk, 1 tbsp at a time, bring the dough together. Don't knead the dough, just bring it together.
-
Cover with a cling wrap and keep in the fridge for 30 minutes or more. It can also be frozen in the deep freezer for a month or so.
-
Pre heat the oven at 180 degree C for 10 minutes. Take the dough out of the fridge and with the help of some dry flour, roll it out.
-
You can bring the edges together if they tear in between. Roll to a medium thickness (1/4 inch approximately). With the help of a cookie cutter, cut into desired shapes.
-
Bake the cookies in a baking tray for 20 to 25 minutes or until light golden brown.
Tips:
- Butter Temperature: Make sure the butter is at room temperature so that it mixes well with the sugar and forms a smooth dough. If the butter is too cold, it won’t incorporate properly.
- Flavor Variations: You can add a pinch of cinnamon, cardamom, or nutmeg for an extra layer of flavor.
- Shape Ideas: These cookies can be rolled out and cut into fun shapes like hearts, stars, or circles, especially for festive occasions. You can also use a fork to press a pattern into the dough.
- For Crispier Cookies: If you like your cookies on the crispier side, roll them thinner and bake for a minute or two longer.
