These butter cookies is so delicious and literally melt in your mouth. One of my kids favorite cookies. Each time I baked these, they snatched it so fast and voila after a while my cookie tin is empty!

These cooking could become a project with your children and bake it together. Share these with your family and friends!

Perfect for your afternoon tea/coffee, each bit of the buttery cookies will literally melt in your mouth. It’s hard to stop eating after the first bite.

Ingredients:

• 150r plain flour / all-purpose flour
• 3gr corn flour / corn starch
• 20gr custard powder
• 160gr butter, softened at room temperature
• 50gr icing sugar
• 1/4tsp vanilla extract
• 1tsp baking powder

How to prepare:

• Combine the plain flour, corn flour, custard powder  and baking powder and sift through a sieve. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the butter and icing sugar until fluffy and pale. Mix in the vanilla extract.
• Sift in the flour mixture. Beat at low speed with an electric mixer. Remember to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
• Lightly knead into a dough. Wrap with a plastic film and roll into a tube in 3½cm thickness.
• Wrap it up and refrigerate for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until it’s workable.
• Preheat oven to 180C / 356F. Line two baking trays with baking paper.
• Remove the dough from refrigerator.
• Slice into 1½cm-thick portions.
• Place each portion in single layer on the lined trays, each at least 3cm apart.
• Use a lightly greased fork to gently press the small dough.
• Bake in preheated oven, for about 15 minutes, or until lightly brown. Remove from oven and let them sit for 5 minutes.
• Transfer to a wire rack until completely cool down.

Notes:

• If you don’t have two baking trays or your oven is not big enough, you can bake in two batches. Keep the rest of the dough in refrigerator.
• If the weather is too warm, you find the dough is too greasy. Don’t worry. Just chill the dough for awhile until workable.
• I love simple cookies with a rustic look. You might like to use a cookies cutter or any moulds to make some delicate patterns on your cookies.
