·         Now gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mix and combine with hands to form a uniform and well mixed dough.

·         Bake for about 10 minutes or until golden brown. And transfer to a rack for some time to cool the cookies and serve.

Note:

in the recipe, I may have written oil as a substitute for butter, but oil will not give the same result as butter. So, butter is always preferred. Next thing is that you can store the dough for these cookies in a sealed container for about 2 weeks in the refrigerator. At the time of baking simply take it out and let it rest for an hour or two at room temperature and bake as said in the above recipes.
