Cookiessss

After a lot of yes and no and lot of research on the internet i finally bought an OTG (Oven, toaster and griller) from Prestige... And the love of baking made me buy it, my hubby was a little against it in the beginning since he thought its of not much use and since i was already using my mom's round oven he thought it would not be right to have 2 of them in the kitchen.. i had to convince him (it was easy though)..

So i was all excited to bake... and i decided let me start with cookies/biscuits 1st.. and also i had bought cookie cutters recently so there began the experimentation..

Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 20-25 minutes (depending upon the oven)

1. Maida 1.5 cups
2. Sugar (powdered) 2 cups
3. Pineapple/vanilla essence 1tsp

Method: 

1. Sieve the maida and baking powder and keep aside.
2. Mix butter and sugar and beat till light and fluffy.
3. Add vanilla/pineapple essence to the mixture.
4. Now slowly add in the maida mixture and knead it to a dough.
5. Add milk while making dough if you find it too dry.
6. Now roll the dough into 1/4" thickness.
7. Using a cookie cutter cut them into shapes and arrange them on a greased baking tray.
