Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour/maida
1/2 tsp baking pwd
1 pinch cardamom powder
1 egg
1/2 cup melted butter
3/4 cup sugar
pinch of salt
Method:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a baking tray with parchment paper/foil.
Sift salt, flour and baking pwd and keep aside. Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, approx 3 mts. Add cardamom powder and egg and combine well. Add the flour mixture, mix until well combined. Refrigerate dough covered with a plastic wrap for an hour until firm enough to roll.
Remove half of the chilled dough from the refrigerator and on a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/4 “. Keep turning the dough as you roll. Cut out desired shapes using a lightly floured cookie cutter and transfer cookies to the baking tray.

Cool on a wire rack. The cookies will harden. Repeat with remaining dough.
