Short bread cookies

Scottish short bread cookies you can make them plain or flavour them with some chocolate chips or powdered instant coffee or a combination of chocolate chips and orange zest. 

Ingredients : 

Salted butter : 250 gms

Sugar : 3/4 cup 

Vanilla essence : few drops 

All purpose flour (maida) : 2 cups

Rice flour : 1 cup

Baking powder : 1/4 tsp

Procedure :

Powder the sugar and whisk it along with butter and vanilla essence to attain a fluffy cream consistency. 

Mix all purpose flour, rice flour and baking powder together then add it to the butter cream and incorporate everything well. 

Bring everything together to form a ball without kneading. 

Spread half of the prepared mixture over a butter paper and roll it out into a rectangular shape using a rolling pin. Dust some dry flour to do so if it sticks to the rolling pin. Cut the dough into rectangles and prik each of them using a fork. 

For the remaining dough I have added some chocolate chips and spread it into two small discs. Shape the circumference by pressing it with two fingers or use a fork. Then cut it into eight sectors each and prik it with a fork. 

Bake it at 200 degrees Celsius for 15 -20 minutes. 

Cut once again after you finish baking as they tend to stick to each while baking.
