Butter Cookies / Benne Biscuit
Benne Biscuite as known in Karnataka which is a popular snack from the bakery. I never attempted to even guess what the ingredients in this would be way back when I was in India. Lately was quite longing for something sweet but not too sweet and home made, I chose to make Benne Biscuit, Benne as in Butter in Kannada, however for preparing this I didnt use butter but oil.
Ingredients :
Methods of preparation :
Note : Use oil sparingly, just enough for the flour to bind, excess oil in dough would harden the cookies.
Atleast 12 to 15 min baking time is required, else the dough in the center would not be baked.
Place the tray in the center of the oven.
If you dont have confectioners' sugar or icing sugar then just grind the usual sugar in a mixer.
Also Known as : Venne Biscuit, Butter biscuit
Variations : Indian Bakeries use vanaspati / dalda instead of oil
You can use unsalted, colourless butter instead of oil.
