Butter cookies are melt in the mouth biscuits. Some people also call it as Brysselkex or Sablés. Also, commonly known as Danish cookies. However, the original recipe has eggs in it. If you are a vegetarian use the below butter cookie recipe. We love to make this egg-free version. Eggless butter cookies are treat for those having allergies. Also we have made it little healthier by adding oats and flax seed powder to it. Both are such wonderful ingredients that do not alter taste in a cookie dough. Adding rice flour gives it an extra crunch.

Homemade butter biscuits are perfect for tea. You can even give it any shape you like using any cookie cutter. This is an easy recipe which has minimal ingredients. Also, we try to make food healthy. Biscuits are great for tea or for a pick-me-up. However, commercial based biscuits are full of sugar and other agents, stabilizers you cannot control. Making them at home, ensures you know what goes in  your biscuits. This makes it an easy choice when offering to kids.

Why is this healthier than market based cookies?

Generally cookies are all plain flour ones with no nutrition. Plain flour looks great but doesn't do much for health.It has very little fiber. This is a healthier version. We use whole meal flour, oats, rice flour, flax seeds. Adding this reduces plain flour content in the biscuit yet remains crisp. If you like you may dust it with some powdered sugar. You can also make this at home for any high tea and kids' bento box meals.
