Eggless Cookies

Eggless Tutti-Frutti Cookies


Ingredients:

2 cups all purpose flour (maida)
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup custard pwd
3/4 tsp baking pwd
big pinch of baking soda
1 tsp vanilla essence
tutti frutti for garnish

Method:

1. Sieve maida, baking pwd, baking soda and custard pwd.

2. Blend the sugar and oil till smooth. Add the sieved ingredients to the sugar-oil mixture. Add vanilla essence and mix well to form a dough. If the dough doesn’t become stiff enough to roll out into balls, add a few tbsps of cold milk or water and chill for a few minutes.

3. Pinch bits of dough and shape into balls and slightly flatten. Or you could alternately pipe the dough into small balls. Garnish with tutti frutti, by slightly pressing into the dough. Place on a greased tray and bake at 180 C for about 10 -12 mts or till done. Once baked, the cookie will feel soft on touch but once cool it will harden. If you over bake beyond the mentioned time limit, you will have a very crunchy cookie.

4. Cool on a wire rack and store in airtight container.
