Using an electric mixer or even just a whisk, cream the butter/oil sugar and eggs. Mix all the dry ingredients well.
Slowly fold in all the dry ingredients using milk or buttermilk, little at a time. Make a smooth dough out of this and allow it to rest for 15 minutes in the fridge well covered or wrapped in a cling wrap or aluminium foil. (This step is necessary.)
After 15 minutes, make small balls out of the dough mix and slightly press them down with your thumb. Bake in a preheated oven on 180 for about 18 minutes or a little more.Remove from the Oven. Keep them on a wired rack outside for sometime until they cool down a bit. Serve these lovely looking Cookies and get ready for some lovely compliments. Enjoy!
