Custard Cookies

I tried these last week and result was awesome :-)

Ingredients:

2 cups flour
half cup custard powder
half cup pure icing sugar
250g unsalted butter
1 tsp vanilla essence

Method: 

Bring the butter to room temperature. Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees C.

If you have a food processor, mix the butter with icing and vanilla. Process for a couple of minutes or until well combined. You can use a hand-mixer.

Add the flour and custard. Pulse until JUST well combined. Do not over-process coz then your cookies won't have a fine delicate crumbly texture.

Shape as desired and bake on greased trays!

PS: I rolled teeny balls with my hands, placed them on the tray and flattened them slightly with a fork. Dip the fork in flour to avoid it sticking to the cookies.

The above quantity will yield around 44 to 45 cookies :-)
