Custard cookies

Custard Cookies..

Got this recipe from Fauzias Kitchen Fun :) Yields approx 40 cookies, I'm started out with just half the amounts, had about 24 cookies

Ingredients:-

2 cups All purpose flour
1/2cup custard powder
1/2cup pure icing sugar
250g unsalted butter
1 tsp vanilla essence

Method:-
1 Bring the butter to room temperature. Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees C.
2 If you have a food processor, mix the butter with icing and vanilla. Process for a couple of minutes or until well 
   combined. You can use a hand-mixer.
3 Add the flour and custard. Pulse until JUST well combined. Do not over-process coz then your cookies won't 
   have a fine delicate crumbly texture.
4 Shape as desired and bake on greased trays!(180c for abt 12-15mins)

PS: I rolled teeny balls with my hands, placed them on the tray and flattened them slightly with a fork. Dip the fork in flour to avoid it sticking to the cookies
