RECIPE NOTES:
1. Butter should be used at ‘room temperature’. 1 cup of soft butter is equivalent to 2/3rd of the 100 grams of butter.
2. You can substitute castor sugar with the powdered sugar. However, castor sugar gives your cookies a nice crunch than chewy.
3. Press the cookies a little using a fork to get 3 nice lines.
4. You could look up to the conversion chartfor any understanding in metric conversions.
TIPS:
1. Don’t overbeat the mixture. Just one nice beat till the mixture combines would suffice. Overbeating will give you chewy cookies.
2. Before piping the cookies on baking tray, make sure you dust the tray with some flour or you can also use the butter paper.
