Jeera (cumin) Cookies with olive oil

Who doesn’t love to munch on cookies? With tea you need cookies, we munch while preparing lunch, kids love to find them in lunch box and cookies are also a wonderful gift option. Remember those round plastic jars of tiny hexagon shaped salt cookies with cumin/caraway(jeera/ajwain) flavors. I used to like those tiny cookies a lot. They were really good munching snack and are still available in a few shops. But in my house we have completely stopped buying cookies and so now I have to always bake them – either salty or sweet cookies.

Initially, I used to bake cookies with butter only, but now as my daughter Apoorva can’t have so much fat, I thought of adding oil with some quantity of butter. Surprisingly, with a combo of oil and butter cookies came out really well.

I have used both white and wheat flour and for some crunch added chiroti rava/suji (semolina). Chiroti rava has very tiny granules compared to regular rava. If you can’t find chiroti rava, use regular rava.

Instead of cumin, you can use any other spice of your choice. Try this recipe and I am sure you are going to love these cookies.

I have a few more posts on cookies in the blog. You can have a look at them too!!

Eggless Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

What is double chocolate chip cookie? Well, double chocolate chip cookies provide more chocolate flavor in choco chip cookies with the addition of cocoa powder along with extra chocolate chips.

Where do we add these extra choco chips?

Initially, while preparing the cookie dough chocolate chips are added and later in raw cookie we add some more choco chips to add extra chocolate flavor.

That’s the reason these are the most popular cookies among kids. You can bake them as return gifts during birthday parties and of course during Christmas celebrations🌲🎄.

One more interesting thing I want to share here – have you ever tasted warm cookies 🍪🍪? Out of the world!!

When I was baking these cookies I had finished my lunch. Generally, I do not eat anything after lunch for minimum 3 hours. But when these cookies were cooling down, I couldn’t stop myself from tasting a tiny bit. I broke 1/4th piece of a cookie while it was still warm. It tasted so wonderful that I gobbled the rest of the pieces and came out of the kitchen with one more cookie in my hand. For second cookie I convinced myself that after some time these cookies will cool down completely and this heavenly taste will not be revived…Lol 😂 😂 😂

How much we fool ourselves but that’s the magic of warm double chocolate chip cookies!!!

Nankhatai (Cookies with clarified butter)

 

Recipe credit: https://www.tarladalal.com, though I have done a few changes in the original recipe.

Ingredients:

Maida (all purpose flour)

1 cup minus 1 tbsp

Powdered sugar 6 tbsp

Cocoa powder 2 tbsp

Baking soda 1 tsp

Baking powder 1/2 tsp

Choco chips 3 tbsp

Butter 5 tbsp (75.8 gm)

Vanilla essence 1/2 tsp

Milk 1-2 tsp (optional)

Extra chocolate chips

Process :

Take butter (should be firm but not cold) in a bowl and cream it.

Add vanilla extract/essence and powdered sugar in creamed butter and mix it nicely.

Add rest of the ingredients, except milk and chocolate chips.

When everything is mixed, add 3 tbsp chocolate chips and if you find it difficult to bind the dough, add milk carefully – 1 tsp at a time.

 

Divide the dough in same size balls.

Roll these balls to make them smooth and press them from one side in a bowl of chocolate chips.

Arrange these cookies by giving some gap in the ready baking tray. Bake them for 20/25 minutes at 175 degrees.

Cookies will be slightly firm but delicate and soft while shifting them to cooling rack after baking.

Don’t worry, carefully shift them to cooling rack. Once cookies cool down completely, they will become firm.

But even after cooling down if you still feel that cookies are soft and you really like crunch in your cookies, then just bake them one more time at 150 degrees for 15 minutes and you will get crispy cookies!!!
