- Add 1-2 tablespoon milk only if needed, if the dough is crumbly. I did not add.
- You can roll the dough and cut into different shapes too.
- The dough should be firm only then the slices will be clean and neat.

@Poornima : After forming the dough just roll it cylindrically then shape it to on all sides to form a log…Hope this helps!

PriyaVaasu
Baked these cookies today, Loved them!! Posted in my blog and linked back!!!
$hreya
I tried these , with same ingridients and baking for only 15 min , but they turned out soft , even though they had started browning. Whtas the mistke that I might have made ? 🙁 Please help.
Sharmilee! :)
Oh the cookies are soft while taking out but becomes crisp after cooling…Not sure where it went wrong, did you use the mentioned quantity of butter?
Shruthi
Sharmilee! Need your help! I tried out these cookies yesterday. They tasted great. But any time I try out any of the cookies the dough seems to spread out while baking and they become flat and shapeless 🙁 Can't understand where I am going wrong. I use the same proportion as mentioned in the recipe and also froze the dough. Please help. I really want to bake some perfect cookies for my son!
SHARMILEE J
If the cookies are not firm enough and butter is more the cookies spread out while baking….You dont need to freeze the cookies…just refrigerate the cookies and then bake am sure it will not spread out…
Shruthi
Ok thank you! Will surely try them soon and let you know how they turn out:)
ashok
Hi Sharmi jee. made the cookies today and it came out very well though I felt that the butter was more. Iam confused about how to measure 6 TBspoon of butter. Whether it should be measured in solid form or liquid form
SHARMILEE J
Butter should be in room temperature not in melted form….
ashok
Thanks. Iam using amul butter which is commonly used as sandwich butter. Is unsalted butter different ?If it is different then let me know the brand name and where is it available. Please also let me know if I can use refined oil instead of butter.If I can use refined oil then how much is equal to 6TBsp of butter.
SHARMILEE J
Amul butter is salted I guess…..I most probably use homemade butter.I just followed the orginal recipe so am not sure of oil substitute in this recipe….
Khadija Memon
I desperately wanna try these. Can you please help me out by telling me whether I can use amul salted butter and adjust the sugar. Also. I'll be very grateful if you tell me what microwave settings should be used to bake these
SHARMILEE J
If you have microwave with convection mode you can follow the same instruction given in this recipe, just the baking timing alone + / – according to your oven
Vidya Prabhu
Hi sharmilee..I tried these cookies yesterday after cooling down they turned out very soft. If I bake them for few more minutes they get burnt. I don't know what was the mistake. Can you help me?
SHARMILEE J
These cookies are soft when taken out, only after cooling it becomes crisp….Not really sure what went wrong…
Ambika
Hi ..I tried ur recipe n it was good but I dnt understand how to know it's done..as it remain spongy n soft through out but after 30 mins in oven it was all done with red brown color..it suppose to b white brown..is it remain soft n get hard later..
SHARMILEE J
It will be soft when taken out of the oven then after 5-10mins of cooling down it turns crisp…The color should be golden only then it will crisp if you overbake it will turn out hard
