Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 260 gms – 2 cups plain flour
  • 225 gms – 1 cup butter (at room temperature)
  • 60 gms – ½ cup icing sugar/powdered sugar
  • 1 ¼ tsp chai masala mix
  • 1 pinch salt

Instruction

  • Put the butter and icing sugar in the bowl of a mixer with a paddle attachment and beat them on medium speed for about 3 minutes or until the mixture is very smooth.
  • Then reduce the speed to low and add the salt, chai maisala mix and flour, mixing only until just incorporated.
  • Flatten the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill the dough in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
  • Roll out the dough into a 0.5 cm – ¼ inch thick sheet. Cut into 6 cm – 2 ½ inch rounds/flowers using a lightly floured cookie cutter.
  • Place the cookies on a tray lined with baking paper and place in the fridge for 15 minutes (this will help the cookies retain their shape when baked).
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C – 340°F on the middle rack for 13 to 15 minutes. The cookies should remain pale.
  • Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
