People seem to be so awestruck that he has done well...
His grades have always been on the high side. Sometimes I wonder if I should brag about my child a little more???
People actually have been discussing the fact that my child may not have done too well...
I guess he offended them by doing ok...
Back to the cookies.These were super light,super small sized batch of butter cookies. Sweet child adores butter cookies and this was for him.
They are delicate,and when you bite into them they just melt in your mouth and then they just dissolve in a puddle of yumminess in your mouth
They are quick taking 10 minutes to whip up the cookie dough and 10 minutes to bake. Then if you can hold off the world an hour to cool and 5 minutes to dip in chocolate. Then of course, set and eat.
That practically sums up the entire exercise.
For the
Viennese Cookies with Amul Butter and Eggless
You need
100 gms Amul butter
125 gms all purpose flour (that's 1 cup minus 1 tbsp flour)
25 gms or 2 tbsp icing sugar
1/8 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp vanilla
100 gms chocolate or chocolate chips
Amul butter tastes best for these. If you've never used it, do. If you're not Indian, this is one Indian product that you must try.
Turn on the oven to 170 C. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Bring out a piping bag and a large star nozzle.
Place the amul butter in a bowl and allow to soften. Pop in the sugar.
Cream till its pale and silky smooth.
Add vanilla and mix in . Pop in The flour and baking powder. Mix well.
Twist and tighten the top.
The cookies should be about 2-3 inches long.
You don't want to color them too much...
Melt the chocolate over a double boiler and keep warm.
After the cookies are firm enough to handle, dip them in the chocolate and set on the parchment paper to let the chocolate firm up.
Voila...
There's a little crunch a lot of butter and a whole lot of love.
And sometimes a bit of better butter will not hurt you.
Celebrate life.
So what are you baking today???
