Level: Beginner | Yields: 12 Cookies | Time: 25 mins
📝 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Collect All Ingredients
Take out these ingredients and place them on the kitchen counter:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour ( Maida )
- ½ cup butter (softened)
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 3 tbsp milk
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Step 2: Preheat the Oven
Turn on your oven and preheat it to 180°C (350°F). This step is important so that the cookies bake evenly.
Step 3: Mix Butter and Sugar
In a large bowl, add ½ cup softened butter and ½ cup powdered sugar.
Use a spoon or hand whisk and mix until it looks creamy and smooth.
Step 4: Add Vanilla and Milk
Now add 1 tsp vanilla essence and 3 tbsp milk. Mix everything again.
Step 5: Add Dry Ingredients
Take a sieve and add:
- 1 cup maida
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
Sieve it into the bowl with the wet mixture.
Step 6: Mix to Form Dough
Mix everything well using a spoon or your hand until it forms a soft dough.
Now, add ½ cup chocolate chips and mix them in.
Step 7: Shape the Cookies
Make small balls from the dough, flatten them slightly, and place them on a baking tray lined with butter paper (or greased).
Leave space between each cookie — they will expand.
Step 8: Bake the Cookies
Put the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes.
Take them out when the edges turn golden brown.
Step 9: Let Them Cool
Let the cookies cool for 10 minutes. They will harden as they cool.
Enjoy with tea or milk!
