Total time: 30 min
Yield: 16 servings
Ingredients: 1/2 cup (100 g) butter (softened); 1/2 cup powdered sugar; 1 tsp vanilla essence; 1 cup all-purpose flour (maida); 2 tbsp milk (if needed); 1/2 tsp baking powder; 1/4 cup chopped almonds; 1/4 cup chopped cashews; 2 tbsp chopped pistachios; 2 tbsp raisins (optional); A pinch of salt

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 170°C for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Beat the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and creamy.

Step 3

Add vanilla essence and mix well.

Step 4

Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold into the butter mixture.

Step 5

Add the chopped dry fruits and mix gently. If the dough is too dry, add 1–2 tbsp milk.

Step 6

Roll the dough into small balls, flatten them slightly, and place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper.

Step 7

Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the edges turn light golden.

Step 8

Let the cookies cool completely—they become crisp as they cool.

💡 Pro Tips for Success
