Perfect for gifting or CNY snack jars. If you love those old-school bakery butter cookies, this recipe is for you. One bite and you’ll understand why this is such a timeless classic!

Method:

1. Cream the butter and icing sugar until light, pale and fluffy.

2. Sift in flour and milk powder. Fold gently to form a soft dough. Do not overmix. Cover with cling wrap and keep in the fridge for at least 1 hour.

3. Remove from the fridge, let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes. When it's pliable, divide the dough into 8g each. Roll into small balls and lightly press with a fork. 

You can shape into animals or festive shapes for fun too!
