Hi wanching

whats the difference between the two recipes for butter cookies? I am looking for something that is soft and melts in the mouth kind. something like M&S's butter cookies.

Have u tried all the recipes that u shared with us?

Phoon huat have it. Or if you have gluntious rice flour, just fry it and leave it to cool down then you can start using that as well.

i guess the crunchiness is due to the oven temperature and baking time...try baking it for a longer timing to make it more crunchy...as for the lacking in frangrance...i guess its due to the trype of butter and vanilla essence you are using...
