Simple Butter Cookies- Crunchy and Chewy

 I got this Cookie press that I wanted to try and hence thought of baking some simple butter cookies that go very well with Tea, Coffee and simply a glass of milk. So I got together all the ingredients and started using my Cookie press..........and Hello! Nothing happens. I tried and tried and batter wasn't coming out of the Cookie press. I was disappointed.

My oven was heated so I started shaping up cookies with my hands which I normally do. So some of my cookies are plain and on some I made imprint using the cookie disc by my hands. I had baked half the cookies when my husband came home and when he saw my sad face; I told him about my useless effort in trying a Cookie Press. So finally, he got his way around it and we made some of the shaped cookies with rest of the batter.

These cookies are flavorable, crunchy and chewy. Perfect to go with glass of milk, tea or coffee.
