Yoyo cookies

This my friends, is by far the best cookies that I have baked. The source of this recipe is Nashira from Nashplateful. These cookies are not from the actual recipe that was mentioned in the blog. This is from the variations that she had mentioned below the actual recipe. I was actually intrigued by the name that these cookies with custard powder was called. " yoyo cookies" isn't that cute? So I had immediately bookmarked the recipe. However, it too me almost three months to bake these classic cookies.

The custard powder, lends a rich vanilla flavour as well as a lovely golden colour to these cookies. Apart from this, these golden goodies have a great texture as well. They just melt in the mouth. Ah!!! Melting moment indeed. It sounds too good isn't it? But the best part is yet to come. These fuss free cookiesare a breeze to prepare. It just took me about 30mins to bake these from start to finish. These cookies go great with a hot cup of coffee or tea or milk or just as a nibble. You just can't stop munching on these. At least I couldn't
