Shahi Paan Butter Cookies

Shahi paan butter cookies, this name might appear to you little strange or something new. Yes this might be, but recipe is quiet easy and taste is sweet and refreshing. I used here shahi paan syrup which is easily available in all departmental store. Recently I have bought this shahi paan syrup from my area departmental store.
I did topping with sugar coated fennel seeds which gave a very attractive look to these cookies and small kids are tempted to these cookies seeing colored fennel seeds.
I used here one drop of pink food color which gave it a prominent colour and this is optional and depends upon your choice.
You can do topping with granulated sugar or simple fennel seeds if you don't have sugar coated fennel seed.
You can make these cookies in advance if you plans something for party or get-together on weekends. You can store it's dough also in freeze for upto one month.
