Butter texture for butter biscuit?
Butter is one key ingredient for butter cookies to get the perfect cookie always use room temperature softened butter. Keep the butter at room temperature for at least 3 hours. Avoid cold butter from the fridge. If you have planed the recipe way ahead soft the butter by microwaving for few seconds but avoid cooking for a long time as butter will starts melting down.
Additional flavors to the cookies?
I have made the cookie with minimal ingredients. You can play with your flavors and add vanilla extract, cardamom powder, rose essence, or any other flavor of your choice. Even without any additional flavor butter gives an amazing taste to the cookies.
Is Chilling the dough mandatory for butter cookies?
I have made this cookie without chilling the dough. I feel the shape is well retained for chill the dough. Cookies made instantly taste good but the texture might turn slightly crack.

Ingredients: All-purpose flour/ Maida - 1 cup Butter- 1/3 cup, softened at room temperature Powdered sugar - 1/3 cup, tightly pressed Salt - pinch How to make Iyengar bakery style butter biscuit with step by step pictures:
In a wide mixing bowl take 1/2 cup of the softened room temperature butter and 1/3 cup of tightly pressed powdered sugar
Combine the butter and sugar well with your hands or whisk or electric mixer until the mixture turns creamy and fluffy
Make sure you use room temperature softened butter, As cold butter is difficult to bind. I prefer to keep the butter outside the fridge for at least 3 hours Gradually add flour and knead the dough gently with the hand or a mixer. Avoid over kneading
After the dough comes together roll the dough into a cylinder of your desired thickness
Cover the dough with a cling wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least one hour or overnight or until the dough turns firm. I generally keep it for one hour
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line the cookie tray with parchment paper. Grease it with butter/baking spray Remove the cling wrap and cut the dough about 1/2 inch thick and spread it onto a baking sheet Gently press the cookie and bake for 10 - 15 minutes until it is slightly golden brown on the bottom side
Initially, Cookies look underdone but they turn fine as they cool down. Tasty butter cookies are ready
