Add butter in a bowl and start beating it until becomes soft.
Add powdered sugar and beat until both combines well and mixture turns creamy and soft.
Sieve flour, custard powder and salt into the bowl.
Add vanilla essence and mix it well.
Using a spatula combine the ingredients until a soft dough forms. You can use hands where ever feels needed.
Take a small portion out of dough and roll it between your palmsĀ to give it a round shape like that of a ball.
Keep on making and placing all such balls onto the baking tray lined with greased butter paper or silicon mat.
Gently flatten the round balls with a fork.
Place the tray in refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until cookies turn light golden.
Alternatively you can bake them in Air fryer as well. For that, preheat air fryer @160 degree C for 3 minutes and then bake on the same temperature for 10 minutes.
Eggless Custard Cookies are ready. Bring them out of the oven/Air Fryer, let them turn cool before serving.
Keep them in airtight container. Enjoy with a cup of tea or milk.
