If you are using unsalted butter then you should add a pinch of salt too. The exact quantity of each of these ingredients are shown in recipe box at end of this post.
In a bowl take wheat flour and add butter to it. I have cut the butter in small cubes so that it will be easy to knead. Note: Butter should be cold or at room temperature and not in melted form.
Kneading the butter and flour is very important as butter should get mixed well with the flour. Once it mixes well the flour will look crumbly in texture as you can see in the below picture.
Add the other ingredients like sugar, vanilla essence and baking powder and again mix well all the ingredients. Note: If your sugar crystal are little big then make the powder of it and add to the flour. Or you can use powdered sugar.
Once all the ingredients mixes well, the dough should look something like below.
