poojakaushal Custard and cookies; both will leave you drooling. When combined they form custard cookies. They are simple, easy and quick to prepare cookies. These are probably the easiest to make cookies and fastest to finish. Try it to believe it.
Custard cookies are fool proof cookies with a taste that appeals to all ages. This makes them the ideal gift too. Within half an hour one batch of cookies can easily be prepared – start to finish. The very fact that almost all ingredients are always available at home, fresh cookies are always possible.
Have it now or store in an airtight container. I have stored them in my repurposed box. Can you see the cookies comfortably sitting in my brand new box. These cookies should last a couple of days.
Tea time cookies, cookies for children’s parties or coffee and cookies – relish them the way you wish you. Coffee-Cookies-Books (or my kindle) are the best combination for me.
