entire mixture into a dough.

a cling wrap in the fridge for 15-20 min.
Now after refrigerating the
dough, remove it out. Spread some flour on the kitchen worktop and sprinkle
over the dough as well.
Roll the dough to a thickness of
0.50 to 0.75cms using a rolling pin.
Cut it into desired shapes.
Transfer the cookies to a baking
sheet spread on a baking tray. Bake it at 180 degrees Celsius for 20-25 min
till the cookies turn light golden brown.
Once done remove the cookies from
the oven and transfer them to a wired rack and let them cool for 15-20 minutes.
Once completely cooled can ice
them with cookie icing as mentioned below.
Beat powdered sugar, vanilla
extract, light corn syrup, and milk in a small bowl until smooth.
Add milk a little at a time to
reach the desired consistency.
Stir in food coloring to reach
the desired color. Decorate cookies and allow icing to set.
Serve the cookies with milk, tea,
or just as a snack.
