Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour maida
- 1 Tbsp Corn Flour
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 cup Sugar powdered
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Butter
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
Decoration
- 9 Almonds chopped
- 1/4 cup Chocolate Chips
- Cocoa Powder as needed, unsweetened
Instructions
- In a bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. This incorporates air for a tender crumb.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, corn flour, and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cookies tough.
- Knead the dough briefly until it forms a smooth ball.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Use a round cookie cutter to cut out circles.
- Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Roll small balls of dough for the bird's eyes.
- Attach the eyes to the cookie circles.
- Place a chocolate chip on each eye for the pupils.
- Use a chopped almond to create a beak for each bird.
- Create small feet for each bird using chopped almonds.
- Use a knife to gently create wing shapes on the sides of the cookies.
- Dust the wings with cocoa powder for a feathered effect.
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Bake for 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For an extra-crunchy texture, chill the shaped cookie dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- For a festive Indian twist, add a pinch of cardamom powder or saffron strands to the dough.
- For easy gifting or presentation, press a whole almond or a few slivers on top of each cookie before baking.
Expert Tips
- Use high-quality butter for the best flavor and texture.
- Don't overbake the cookies; they should be lightly golden around the edges.
- If your dough is too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
Storage Instructions
- Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container with a piece of parchment paper between layers to maintain their crispiness for up to two weeks. Avoid plastic bags.
