    Ingredients

    • 1 and 1/2 cup maida
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 3/4 cup sugar
    • 1 egg
    • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt

    FOR COATING:

    • 1/4 cup sugar
    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder

    Notes

    • The cookies spread out so while baking so leave enough space between each cookie.
    • I used 1 and 1/2 cups of flour, I used my 1/3 cup and added little more flour to make it 1/2 cup as I had butter in my 1/2 measuring cup
    • My dough was slightly wet and moist so I refrigerated to make it stiff. But this step is optional, if the dough is stiff then start baking them right away.
    • First I used 1 tablespoon measuring spoon to scoop out the dough and the cookies are quite big so for the next batch (what you see in the pic) I took just half of 1 tablespoon and the size was perfect.
    • You can even refrigerate the dough overnight and bake the cookies next day. In that case keep the dough outside for a while then proceed.
    • Do not be tempted to overbake just 10-12mins will be just fine. It will be soft when taken out of the oven after cooling it is crisp at the edges and slightly soft inside that's how they are to be.

    Expert Tips

    • The cookies spread out so while baking so leave enough space between each cookie.
    • I used 1 and 1/2 cups of flour, I used my 1/3 cup and added little more flour to make it 1/2 cup as I had butter in my 1/2 measuring cup
    • My dough was slightly wet and moist so I refrigerated to make it stiff.But this step is optional, if the dough is stiff then start baking them right away.

    • You can even refrigerate the dough overnight and bake the cookies next day.In that case keep the dough outside for a while then proceed.
    • I added only 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon powder as I wanted the flavour to be mild though the orginal recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of it.
    • I followed the orginal recipe as such exact for few tweaks in the measure.So  am not sure of egg substitutes in this recipe.
    • Do not be tempted to overbake just 10-12mins will be just fine.IT will be soft when taken out of the oven after cooling it is crisp at the edges and slightly soft inside thats how they are to be.

      Sharmi, new, different, cute cookies… pictures are tempting and so perfect in showing the texture. We don't eat egg, is there any way make this without egg and substitute with something else … curd/oil/more butter?

      Hi Sharmi,
      I tried most of our recipes and all were tasty. I have only one difficulty in executing this. What is that 1 cup measurement? Is it 200ml? It will be useful for everybody if u denote that measurement in all the post.

        Each ingredient in 1 cup measures differently…Will sure update the recipe next time I make it because I need to measure the ingredients in weighing scale
