Notes
- Only use cold butter if you want your cookies to be crunchy.
- Do not over knead the dough.
- Add milk (1 tablespoon at a time) only if required.
- After kneading, resting the dough in refrigerator is very important. It avoids the spreading of cookies while baking.
- You can add chopped nuts instead of tutti frutti. Choice of nuts is completely yours.
- After baking, let the cookies cool completely and then store in an airtight container.
- In case you don’t have vanilla essence, you can use pineapple essence or rose essence as well.
