Vanilla sugar cookies


First time i tried these cookies and i couldn't believe myself that it came out so crispy and tasty. Just yummy.

Ingredients:
  • 50 gms (1/2 cup) sugar
  • 75 gms (3/4 cup) salted butter
  • 200 gms (2 cups) all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ cup chopped almonds and cashews


Method:

First preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Now in a bowl take the butter and mix it well. Then add sugar and mix it for 2-3 minutes. Now add the egg and mix it very well around 2-3 minutes. Add vanilla essence and again mix it. Now in a strainer take the flour, baking powder & baking soda. Sieve it in the bowl and mix them altogether. Add the dry fruits and mix well. Make a little tight dough. Let it rest for 20 minutes. Take a baking tray & grease it with melted butter. Now after 20 minutes make small balls from the dough and keep them in the tray. Slightly press the top of the balls with a fork. Lastly sprinkle some chopped almonds to the top of the balls for garnishing. Now bake them in the pre-heated oven for 12-15 minutes. Take them out from the oven when it will be little golden in color. Let the tray cool for 10 minutes and enjoy your cookies.
