Total Time: 40 minutes
Cuisine: Indian
Ingredients:
- baking powder
- salt
- dates paste filling
- vivatta maida
- sugar the cookies
- sesame seeds (til seeds)
- butter
Instructions:
- To begin making the Snow Drop Cookies recipe, firstly pre heat the oven at 275 degree celcius for 15 minutes
- Beat the butter untill it is smooth and a little pale in colour
- Next add the sesame seeds and mix it well
- Sift the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt together in batches untill it forms a soft dough
- You may need more or less flour according to the type of flour you use
- It should not stick to your hands and should not crack when formed into a ball
- If you want to add filling then take a small ball size of the dough and flatten them a bit with your fingers on your palm then take a small pea sized fiiling of your desire and place it in the center then bring the ends together and form a ball
- (its the same process as making a kachori)In a baking sheet place small balls of cookies but do not flatten them with your hands Bake it at 200 degree celcius for about 30 minutes, keep a close eye to the cookies while its baking as we do not need to brown the cookies from top, which makes them melt in your mouth
- Take out the cookies once baked and nicely browned from bottom and let them cool down a little in the sheet itself
- Do not try to touch them at this point as they are likey to break
- Once the cookies are cooled down but slightly warm sprinkle powdered sugar on top of them with the help of a sieve
- Do not dip them directly in the sugar as they are very soft and likely to break
- The sugar will slightly melt after sometime then do a second round of sprinkling sugar, be generous in coating them with sugar as we do not have any sugar in the cookies itself
- Store them in an air tight container or serve it immediately
- Serve Snow Drop Cookies along with Espresso Coffee for your tea time break
- You can also pack these cookies for your kids snacks box
