Melt in the mouth buttery gulab jamun cookies made with just 3 ingredients. A fun recipe to use left over gulab jamun mix.

The buttery warm smell of freshly baked cookies always puts me in a great mood. I love cookies for the fact that they can be made with the simplest of ingredients and pretty much with anything in your kitchen pantry.

Here’s another simple, super yum, buttery, crumbly cookie recipe for you. Ever tried the ready made gulab jamun mix to make cookies? I am sure you will after seeing these.

Recipe

Melt in the mouth buttery cookies make with just 3 ingredients.

 Prep Time           10 minutes

 Cook Time          10 minutes

 Passive Time     10 minutes

 Servings              25 cookies

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup unsalted butter [soft]

3/4 cup sugar Powdered

2 and 1/2 cups Gulab jamun mix powder [I used MTR]

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. In a large bowl mix in all the ingredients until they are well combined and form a soft dough.
  2. Line a cookie tray/ baking tin with parchment paper.
  3. Divide the cookie dough into 25- 30 equal portions.
  4. Roll each portion into a smooth round ball between your palms and slightly flatten it. [You may make a pattern on top using a fork]
  5. Repeat the same with rest of the dough.
  6. Place the shaped cookies in the prepared baking tray, about 2 inches apart from each other.
  7. Refrigerate for 5-10 minutes.
  8. Pre heat the oven at 180 degrees C for 10 minutes.
  9. Bake the cookies in the pre heated oven at 150 degrees C for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown.
  10. Transfer onto a cooling rack after 5 minutes.
  11. Allow to cool completely before storing in an air tight container.



RECIPE NOTES

  • Oven temperature and time may vary. Bake until the cookie edges start to turn a light shade of brown.
  • These cookies tend to spread a little, thus placing them a little apart is important.
  • Chilling the cookie dough helps to maintain the shape of the cookie while baking it.
  • In case your cookie dough feel too soft or buttery, you may add a couple of spoons of all purpose flour or a little more of the gulab jamun mix to adjust the consistency.
  • I used MTR's readymade gulab jamun mix for the above recipe.
  • For this particular recipe, it is important to use unsalted butter only. Since the gulab jamun mix already has added salt, using salted butter will effect the taste of the cookie.

Do let me know how this turns out for you. Happy Baking !

A moist whole wheat chocolate banana loaf cake. This eggfree banana cake flavoured with a dash of cinnamon is perfect as a tea time snack. It is another special day. My youngest son’s first birthday. I wanted Adbhut’s first ever cake to be something he would enjoy. Here’s something with his favourite fruit. I am super happy about how this whole wheat chocolate banana loaf cake turned out. It is simple, healthy and flavourful at the same time. My home smells all warm and ‘cinnamony’. It is often thought that whole wheat bakes are dense or taste ‘aata -like’. Try this. Its soft, moist and unless you tell its wholewheat no one would guess it. Recipe Cook Time            45 minutes Servings                1 loaf INGREDIENTS 1 and 1/2 cups whole wheat flour 1 and 1/2 tsps baking powder 2 tbsps Cocoa powder 1 tsp Cinnamon powder {optional} 1/4 tsp salt 2 Ripe bananas { medium size} 3/4 cup + 1/4 cup milk 1/2 cup cane sugar 1/2 cup Oil 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2

Mom’s Eggless Cake

  I have had this cake since I was 5. Mom would use the little round oven and we would keep peeking into the glass top to see the cake rising. The whole house would smell deliciously warm and I don’t think we ever waited for the cake to cool down, those warm slices would disappear within minutes. Everyone remembers their first bake. Mom’s recipe introduced me into the beautiful world of baking. This is and will always be my favourite recipe. This is perfect for beginners [I baked it when I was 14 and my almost 9 year old did it brilliantly 2 weeks back]. Can’t get simpler than this now, can it? Recipe    INGREDIENTS 2 cups All purpose flour 3/4 tsp Baking soda 1 cup Milk 1/2 cup   Oil 3/4 cup Sugar 1 tsp Vanilla essence INSTRUCTIONS Pre heat the oven at 180 C for 10 minutes. Beat the milk, sugar, oil and vanilla essence together till it turns into a white creamy mix. [or you can simply put all the ingredients in an electric mixer and give it a few whips] Sieve
