SUPERB!
Summary

A quick, soul-satisfying fix to everything (YES, we believe this solves everything) is chai and biskut (biscuits).

Our Review Factors
What are we looking for? Rich, buttery cookies with a crunchy texture.
Our review factors for Amul Butter Cookies involves the following parameters:
1. Flavor
Any butter cookie is characterized by its rich, buttery and distinct flavor. Apart from a buttery flavor, we expected the sweetness to be balanced and the flavors to be true to their label. There shouldn’t be an oily aftertaste.
2. Texture
Amul Butter cookies are eggless. Although eggs do not play any vital role in terms of taste, cookies baked without eggs can turn very dense and crumbly if not substituted correctly. Butter cookies are crisp and yet have a melt in the mouth texture. How do the Amul Cookies fare?
How is the texture of the nuts, oats and raisins?
3. Other Parameters
Packaging
Once opened, will the cookies retain freshness in the pack, or do they need to be transferred to another container? Is there a tray that holds these cookies?
Appearance
Broken or intact? Were all the cookies identical in size and thickness? Is the surface cracked? Do these look flat? Are they well-risen?
We also checked for price and shelf life.

Amul Butter Cookies – Detailed Review
1. Plain/Butter
Price + Packaging
The cookies are neatly stacked in a tray which is covered with a plastic sheet. The tray is then placed in a carton that resembles the color scheme of Amul Butter packaging. A 200 gm pack of Amul Butter Cookies is priced at Rs 65. It offers a shelf life of six months.
Appearance
The cookies are chunky-looking, round and thick. They have a well-baked subtle golden surface. The top is ever-so-slightly cracked and is almost identical in thickness. A few cookies were slightly smaller than others.
Main Ingredients
The main ingredients are refined wheat flour (maida), butter (25%), sugar, milk solids, liquid glucose, raising agent (E500(ii)), emulsifiers (E481(i)), and added vanilla flavor.
The USP of these cookies is the use of butter in place of vegetable oils. Though both, butter and oil, are sources of fat, the former is relatively more healthy and lends a better, richer flavor to cookies.
Why, you ask? That’s because butter contains saturated fats that are good for your heart when consumed in moderation. Refined/vegetable oils on the other hand, have a lower antioxidant content and contain unsaturated fats that may cause inflammation.
Taste
Since these are made with Amul butter, there is a subtle saltiness that balances the sweetness. The rich buttery and milky flavors are desirable. These cookies have a lovely mix of milky and vanilla aroma.
Texture
The texture is just right. These cookies have a buttery bite but do not feel too oily or greasy on the palate or fingers. The cookies are well-baked.
- These cookies are made using 25% butter.

- The texture was spot-on! Crisp and buttery.
