To begin making the Maltesers Butter Cookie Recipe, line up a baking tray with baking sheet and keep aside. 

Sift together flour and salt and keep aside.

Add butter and icing sugar together in the bowl of your electric beater. Beat on medium speed until the mixture becomes creamy.

Add the milk, vanilla extract and beat again until combined. Now add the flour and beat on slow speed until flour gets well mixed.

Do not over beat. Use your hands to bring the dough together. Wrap the butter cookie dough in a cling film and refrigerate for about an hour.

Once the cookie dough has firmed up in the refrigerator. Preheat oven to 180 C.

Dust a rolling surface with enough flour, roll the butter cookie dough and using a cookie cutter, cut the dough as any shape as you desire. Transfer the butter cookies in a lined baking tray.

Drop a maltesers on the top and slightly give a press. Bake the cookies for 10 -15 minutes in middle rack of the oven until you notice slight cracks on the cookie.

Remove the cookie from the oven and allow the Maltesers Butter Cookie to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, the cookies are ready to be served.
