Notes

Powder granulated sugar as it helps to combine easily with butter .

You can use any custard powder available in your kitchen.

I made a simple fork impression pattern to design cookies. You can use cookie cutter or design as per your wish.

Try to maintain even size cookies . Uneven sized cookies leads to half bake or burn .

You can substitute cornflour/starch for custard powder . Do add colour gel or liquid and flavour to the cookie dough.

Finally , first batch of cookies take more time ( 15 minutes) to bake . Second and third batch takes only 12 to 13 minutes to bake. So have an eye while baking.

And also every oven behaves different, so adjust time and heat according to it.
