Tips
No whisking needed for the butter and icing sugar mixture.
The oil, water, and baking powder mixture acts as a secret egg substitute for better crunch and longer shelf life.
Knead lightly by hand for a smooth dough.
Chill the patterned dough block for 15 minutes before slicing.
Bake until the sides turn golden.
