From what I have tasted, these custard cookies have a very pleasant and unique flavor, delicate texture and absolutely melt in mouth. Obviously custard powder gives these cookies a very delicate texture and make them crumbly too. You can use any flavored custard powder, however classic custard cookies are always vanilla flavored.

The next important ingredient for making custard cookies is butter. You can use salted or unsalted but butter is your best bet for these cookies. Do not use oil as the texture will completely change. The ratio of flour to butter is also very important for the texture. The amount of custard powder really depends on your preference. I have used 1/4 cup here, you can add 2-3 more tablespoons for more custard flavor.

To make custard cookies recipe, I have used vanilla flavored custard powder. You can use mango flavored custard powder too if you wish. I have added some chocolate chips but they are purely optional.

Just make sure to remove them from oven once the edges begin to change in color slightly. They crisp up very well on cooling.
