Course Snack
Cuisine Indian
Servings 22 number
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All purpose flour/ maida
- 1/2 cup custard powder, ( Vanilla / Any flavour )
- 1 cup Powdered sugar / castor sugar
- 1/2 cup Butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup tutti frutti
- 1/4 cup Cashews, chopped
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Rose/ Pineapple essence , ( I prefer rose essence )
- 3 - 5 Tbsps Milk
Instructions
In a bowl take butter and sugar powder . Whisk well until its creamy and fluffy .
Now add 3 tbsp milk and rose essence and mix well .
In another bowl , sieve maida , custard powder and baking powder .
To the sieved mix , add tutti frutti and chopped cashews. Mix well .
Now add this maida mix to the beaten butter mix. Add dry ingredient to the wet ingredient in 2- 3 batches and with a help of whisk/ spatula / hand make a dough .No need to knead the dough much you just have to make a dough .if the dough is crumbly , add 1 more tbsp milk .the dough has to be non sticky.
Divide the dough into 2 parts and roll the dough to cylindrical log shape and wrap it in polythene cover / cling film .Refrigerate the covered logs for 2-3 hours/ till they become hard.
After 2-3 hours , remove the log and cut into 1/2 inch thick roundels.Use a sharp knife else the cookies may break while cutting .
Preheat the oven at 180c for 10 minutes .
Arrange the cookies on the baking tray lined with parchment paper. Leave some space in between .
Place the tray in the middle rack and bake the cookies in 180 c for 15 min / till the edges starts getting golden brown .
Remove the cookies from the tray and let it cool completely.Initially they look soft when hot but after 30-40 mins , they will become crunchy and tasty only after they are cooled completely.
Store the cookies in an air tight container and relish !!! Stays good for atleast 5-6 days ( it gets vanished before that !! )
Notes
- As a variation you can add orange juice instead of milk and orange zest instead of essence.
- If you don't have tutti fruttis you may replace it with cashews , nuts , raisins etc .
- Keeping the cookie dough in the fridge will harden it. You can cut into desired shape later easily .
- Use a sharp knife to get a smooth finish on the cookies.While cutting the cookies,cookies may crumble lightly. Use your fingers and press gently on the cracks. It will be fine.
- The baking time may vary a bit .You should bake till the sides of cookie turn golden brown .it may take 15-20 mins depending on your oven.
- increase the butter quantity to 3/4th cup if you are ok for more better texture .
- Don't add 5 tbsp of milk at once. We dont want our dough to become moist. Add 3 tbsp first and later if required add 1-2 tbsp more.

Test it twice and love it!! I just don’t put custard (we don’t find it in France) and put chocolate crisp or toffee and it’s so so good!!!

I used the exact same measurements in the recipe to the most detail. But the biscuits just flattened out all over the plate. Very disappointed. Please tell me if there is anything we could do about it for it be better.
