Notes

- Butter should in room temperature.
- Add appropriate sugar according to your taste bud. My cookies are too sweet by adding 150 gms of sugar. So if you want medium or low sweet then add 100 – 125 gms of sugar.
- I usually add baking powder for my cookies, so followed the same here.
- Instead of essence you can add cardamom powder.
- While adding milk, add slowly to mix. if the dough is not stiff then add few tsps of flour and knead the dough.
