Its like a dream come true when my daughter tells me that her glass of milk has been gulped down... otherwise it takes a million pain staking explanations, begging, pleading, bribing and what not..and if I'm lucky it might just be almost over..
One of the easy ways of ensuring that my daughter finishes her milk is by offering her cookies.. she enjoys plunging them in her glass and gulping them down and somehow sooner or later the milk also seems to get into the tummy.
Got this recipe from the the lifescoop blog. The direct link is http://lifescoops.blogspot.ae/2013/02/spritz-cookies-swedish-butter-cookies.html. It seemed like a fairly easy recipe so i tried it out n its actually quite good.. its easy to make and if you have a cookie press life cant any simpler ;)
If you bake them as per the recipe to set set, the cookies are slightly chewy, But if you bake them a tad bit more till they turn slightly brown they are more like a biscuit and get that crisp finish them them ..so you get the crunch when you bite them.. so you could choose the kind you prefer.
You could also colour them as you please or not.
I make them in nice colours and use a press so they look appealing and i baked them a little more than just set but not really brown. My daughter absolutely loves them.
If you don't have a cookie press and your looking to roll them and use a cookie cutter then keep some extra flour on your hand as u might need it to bind the mixture to make it easy to handle as roll out.
Ingredients 1 cup - Butter, softened 1/2 cup - granulated sugar 2 ¼ cups - All-purpose flour 1/4 Tsp - salt 1 - Egg 1 ½ Tsp - vanilla essence Food color (optional)
