Ingredients

240 grams Maida All purpose flour
140 grams Butter softened butter, unsalted or salted
1/2 cup Powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
4-5 tbsp tutti frutti
3-4 tbsp milk or add as required
2-3 tsp butter for greasing the baking tray

Instructions

Take the sugar in a dry grinder or mixer-grinder.
Grind sugar to a fine powder and set aside.
In a mixing bowl take the softened butter and powdered sugar.
With an electric beater, cream the butter and sugar till the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
On a medium speed, it took me about 4 to 5 minutes to cream the butter and sugar till smooth, fluffy and light.
Add vanilla essence. Fold the vanilla essence with the creamed mixture.
Next directly sift the all purpose flour in the bowl containing the creamed butter and sugar.
You can also sift the flour in a plate and then add.
Now add 3 to 4 tbsp of milk or as needed.(it would be better you add it little by little)
The milk helps in binding and to get the mixture together in a dough.
Begin to gently mix with your hands and gather the whole mixture in a dough. Do not knead.
The mixture should be able to come together and hold easily. Add 1 or 2 tablespoons more of the milk if the cookie mixture is not able to come together in a dough.
Preheat oven for 15 to 20 minutes 180 degrees C/356 degrees F.
Roll the dough gently having a thickness of 0.5 cm.
Sprinkle the tutti frutti evenly on the rolled cookie dough.
With the rolling pin, gently press the tutti frutti so that they get embedded in the dough.
With a biscuit cutter, or with anything you have in your kitchen to cut, cut the cookie slices. I used a shots-glass to cut the cookies.
Gently remove them and place on the greased baking tray.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven at 180 degrees C/356 degrees F for 40-45 mins till the tops become light golden.(baking time may vary from oven to oven)
Keep the baking tray with the cookies on the center rack with both the top and bottom heating elements on.
Since oven temperatures vary, it may takes less or more time. So do keep a check.
Bake till the cookies are a light or pale golden. Do not over bake them as then they will become chewy or hard.
The base should also be light golden.
After a minute, place them on a wired rack. Let them cool at room temperature. Once cooled, store them in an air-tight box or jars.
Serve these cookies as a sweet snack or tea time snack.
