I took out some time for baking and planned to make simple butter cookies in shape of flag of Pakistan yesss!! Lets move on to the recipe :)
Ingredients:
This recipe yields 20-25 cookies.
Sugar 1/2 cup
Eggs 1 egg yolk
Flour 1 1/2 cup
Baking Powder 1 1/2 tsp
Milk 1 tbsp
Vanilla 2 tsp
Salt Pinch
Green food color 3-4 drops
Cream for crescent & star
Procedure:
First of all take out all the refrigerated items & let them reach at room temperature, like eggs, butter, flour etc.
Next, combine flour and baking powder in a clean dry bowl and set aside.

Now, in another bowl beat butter until creamy & fluffy. Next add sugar gradually & beat well until light & fluffy. Next add egg yolk, vanilla essence & milk i.e. all wet ingredients & beat well until incorporated. It will result in a fluffy creamy texture.. :)
Next at low speed of beater or with the help of hands start mixing the dry ingredients with the above fluffy butter mixture.

This will result in a clean smooth dough as shown below:
Next divide the dough into two halves. Add green food coloring to half of the dough and knead it properly until green color is incorporated evenly. Leave the other half as it is.
On a sheet of waxed paper/baking parchment paper or butter paper, roll out both the green & white dough, with the help of a rolling pin into rectangular shapes as we are gonna make Pakistan's flag with it :) Let its thickness be less than half an inch.
Now place the rectangular green portion of the flag cookie on the right side and the smaller & vertical white dough rectangular portion on left :) as show in pic :)
Now, once ready pre-heat ur oven at 162 degree C for 5-10 min. Place ur flag cookies on butter paper in the baking tray, allowing each cookie enough space to expand after getting baked.
Bake for 10-15 minutes. U will knw the cookies are done, when u see a change in color of the cookies & the base would have become firm. Cookie will be soft at first. Just allow it to cool before u serve :)
With the help of cream make the crescent & the star!! =) Andddd u r doneee :)
