When I was a kid, bakery biscuit was a great treat. An eggless , easy to make cookie. Indian all the way!
My note on this recipe..
Yield : 20 cookies
Ingredients:
Maida / all purpose flour - measure 1 cup and remove 2 tbsp
Kadalamav / besan / chana dal powder - 2 tbsp
Sugar - 1/2 cup
Baking powder (optional) - 1/8 tsp
Fat - either only dalda or only ghee or both together - 1/2 cup
Cardamom - 3
Almond slivers for decoration
Powder the sugar and cardamom (without skin).
Mix in the fat. I used 1/4 cup ghee and 1/4 cup dalda.
Next add the flours and baking powder, if using.
Make a soft dough.
Preheat oven to 200 C for 10 minutes.
Make small rounds of biscuits and place them evenly with atleast 1 inch gap in between each cookie on a lined and greased baking sheet.
( I used my silicon sheet.)
Make small crosses on top of each biscuit.
Insert almond slivers into each cross or use tooth pick dipped in colour for decoration.
Reduce oven temperature to 180 C.
Place the cookies inside the oven for 12 - 15 minutes.
Cool and store inside an airtight container.
Serve with coffee / tea.
