  • 125 gm Butter
  • 120 gm Sugar (powdered)
  • 1/4 tsp Baking powder
  • 25 ml Curd
  • 2 tbsp Cocoa powder(sieved)

  • On a rolling board keep a butter paper and place the half dough portion and roll it into a square. Keep it aside.
  • Mix cocoa powder, drinking chocolate and chocolate essence to one quarter dough and mix well. If dough is too dry add 1tbs curd to make it soft.
  • On a butter paper roll both vanilla and chocolate dough into squares separately.
  • Cut them into 10 equal strips.
  • On the previously rolled square sprinkle chopped cashew.
  • Then place the 5 chocolate and 5 vanilla strips alternately.
  • Cut the other 10 strips to small squares.
  • Place the squares alternately so that the cookie dough resembles an interlaced pattern.
  • Chill for 10 minutes.
  • Cut to desired shapes.
  • Preheat oven to 200C
  • Bake cookies for 20 minutes.
  • After 20 minutes remove from oven and transfer to wire mesh to cool.
  • Cookies are always very soft when you take them out of oven. Do not panic.
  • They become crispy once cooled. Store in airtight container.
