Recipe adapted from :Easycooking

Ingredients:
Flour-1 cup
Cornflour-1/2 cup
Sugar-1/2 cup powdered
Butter-1/2 cup(100 gms)
Choco chips-1/2 cup(90 gms)
Baking powder-1/2 tsp
Vanilla essence-1/2 tsp

Method:

Sieve both the flours and baking powder.
Cream butter and sugar together with a fork.
Add in the essence,sieved flour and choco chip.
Knead it to a soft dough.
Pre heat the oven for 10 minutes at 160 d C.
Meanwhile rest the dough for 10 minutes.
Make lime sized round balls from the dough and slightly flatten it.
You may also prick some chco chips on the top.
Arrange it in an ungreased baking tray keeping distance in between.
Bake it for 20 minutes or until done.

My notes:
If you find difficult to combine the dough add a tsp or 2 of cold milk or water and knead it together.
Divya Kudua says one may replace cornflour with 2 tbsp cocoa powder to get a chocolate flavour.
She also says we may use white choco chips instead of choco chips.
