Tea time cookies




How about some spicy cookies this time!!
Yeah, having a sweet tooth, I always ended up baking cakes, so for a change I tried spicy cookies today! Hot tea, freshly baked home made cookies on a cloudy, lazy Sunday afternoon!! I'm loving it 

INGREDIENTS:

MAIDA - 1/2 CUP
WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR - 1/2 CUP
BUTTER - 2.5 TBLSP+1/2 TSP
SUGAR - 2 TSP
SALT - 1/2 TSP
CUMIN SEEDS - 1/2 TSP
AJWAIN SEEDS (OMAM) - 1/2 TSP
GREEN CHILLI - 1 (Finely chopped)
CORIANDER LEAVES - 1.5 TBLSP (Finely chopped)
YOGURT - 1.5 TBLSP

METHOD:

1. Beat the butter and sugar well until creamy.
2. Add the yogurt to this and mix well.
3. Now add the flour, salt, chopped chilli and cilantro and mix well and make this into a stiff dough.(I also added some finely chopped mint leaves as I like that flavour)
4. Do not knead this by adding too much pressure.
5. Take a portion of the dough and roll it.
6. Cut them into any desired shapes using a cookie cutter or even a bottle lid.
7. Grease the baking tray and place this on the tray.
8. Bake this in a preheated oven at 150 degree.
9. Bake for 15- 20 mins. Mine took a little more than 20 mins.
10. The biscuit will not get brown on the top, but it will get a nice color at the bottom. Let it cool completely, only then it will be crisp.
