In a mixing bowl take softened butter, powdered sugar and cream it well with a whisker or hand blender on low speed.
Once the butter and sugar are well combined and creamed, add the vanilla essence and salt and mix it well with a strong spatula or whisker.
Now add 1/3 of the flour/maida to the mixer and combine it well. Then add half of the remaining flour/maida and mix. Once everything is well combined add the rest of the flour/maida and mix well. The batter will get a little hard so use a strong spatula to mix.

Now line a baking tray with butter paper or parchment paper. With a tablespoon take 1 tbsp of the batter and make a small ball with your palms. Then slightly press the ball with your fingers and place on the baking tray. Do the same with the remaining batter. Keep atleast 2 inch distance between each cookie on the tray.
Now chill this for atleast 1/2 hour. You can also avoid chilling but the cookie comes out best when chilled.
Preheat the oven at 180°C for 10 mins. Then place the cookie tray in the oven and bake for 20 mins at 180°C.
