Desi cookies!

This weekend the chef in me was inspired by my exceedingly sweet tooth. I craved one of Amma's perfectly baked biscuits, reminiscing their wonderful baked smell and the golden color. So off I went to the local grocer in my aim to recreate the recipe. It turned out pretty cool, as its all gone now, I am happy with the result.

So here's the recipe (Proportions matter here):

A cup of all purpose flour

1/3 cup of confectioners sugar (you can powder regular sugar in a blender as well)

1/3 cup of butter, melted

1 tsp vanilla essence

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp baking soda (this is the egg substitute to make the cookie crumbly)

2% milk added as suitable when you knead.

Knead all ingredients together such that there are no lumps. You want a chapati doughy consistency.

Roll out the dough into a thick circle and cut out cookies with a cutter or a tumbler rim. (alternately you can make small balls & press down with a flat cup into cookie rounds for a more homemade look)

Preheat oven to 350F. Bake for 15 minutes until brown on top.

Enjoy!
