  • Beat the sugar and butter with the help of an electric beater till fluffy
  • Add vanilla essence,sifted Maida gradually and mix it well for 3-4 minutes
  • Divide it equally into 2 parts
  • IN one part of the dough add milk powder and enough milk and sprinkle maida if its sticks to ur hand to form a soft dough
  • In another part of the dough add cocoa powder and enough milk and sprinkle  maida if its sticks to ur hand to form a soft dough
