Tutti frutti cookies are my all time favorite snack. we have 2 awesome bakery in my home town, Garib bakery and 15 AD whose cookies I have been eating from childhood. Whenever I go home my mom makes sure to fill the cookie jar with variety of cookies from my favorite bakery. Today I am so happy that I made the same tasting cookies or rather I can proudly say better because I ate hot from the oven.

Ingredients-

• 3/4th cup unsalted butter at room temperature.
  
• 3/4th cup sugar
• 1.5 cup all purpose flour (maida)
  
• 1.5 tea spoon baking powder
  
• 2 pinch salt
  
• 1/2 tea spoon vanilla essence
  
• 1/2 cup tutti frutti
  
• 1 tea spoon orange Zest

Method-

• Whip together butter and sugar until fluffy.
  
• Stir in vanilla essence.
  
• Add tutti frutti and orange zest.
  
• Sift together all purpose flour,baking powder and salt.
  
• Gradually add maida to butter and sugar mix.
  
• Make a dough with the help of hand.
  
• refrigerate the dough for 1 hour.

• Preheat the oven at 300F.
  
• Make cookie from the dough of whatever shape you like.
  
• Place the parchment paper or foil on the cookie sheet.
  
• Arrange cookie on the baking sheet at lest 1 inch apart from each other from all sides.
  
• Bake for 20- 25 minutes. Depending upon the temperature of your oven.
  
• Cool them on the cooling rack.

• Have them with Tea, coffee or just like that.
  
• CRUNCH!!!! MUNCH !!!! YUM

Note-

• You can add 1-2 teaspoon milk if you think that dough is not binding enough.
  
• They will bake between 15-20 minutes depending upon the temperature of the oven. Although they might look like that they are not baked, soft but give them some standing time they will be just perfect.
  
• I got little creative with the cookie dough. I set it in the empty aluminum foil wrap box so that I can cut nice square shape.
• The cookies will get double of there original size after baking so cut small pieces.
