Cookies

Method

1. Preheat oven to 170º C.
2. Take refined flour in a mixing bowl, add icing sugar and butter and mix well with your finger- tips till it resembles breadcrumbs. Add 2-3 tbsps water and vanilla essence and mix to make a soft dough.
3. Divide the dough into equal portions and shape them into balls and keep them a plate.
4. Shape them into smooth round cookies and keep on a butter paper lined baking tray ensuring that there is enough space between the cookies.
5. Decorate the cookies thus: stick a chocolate chip to make the mouth, 2 chocolate vermicelli to make eyes and two chocolate cornflakes to make ears.
6. Keep the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or till the cookies turn a light brown.
7. Take the tray out of the oven, cool them to room temperature. Arrange them on a serving platter and serve or store in an airtight container.
