“A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand” ~ Unknown
;-) How fun would life be if cookies were perfect for diet ??? sigh... As I write this post I so miss munching on these buttery cookies that I baked a fortnight ago. I love to bake and the baking bug seem to have vanished now and apparently when I do I seem to do it quite frequently. Does this happen to you? as of now I am on a baking low, so hence to boost up my spirits thought of doing this post on cookies. There cannot be an easier recipe as this for someone who is a beginner in baking. And I have to mention that these cookies don't have any baking powder or baking soda so its kids friendly in every way.

ReplyDeleteTried them today and came out well. Just they were more crispy on edges than middle. May be I have missed something. Thx for awesome recipe.
ReplyDeleteThx for awesome recipe. Tried today and they came out well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nidhi for writing to me, so happy to know that your cookies turned out great.
DeletePriya i tried them first time and it took about 20 mins or so for them to turn brown and the browning wasnt even. The dough was a bit crumbly and not as smooth as yours. What do you think was missing ?
ReplyDeleteI think the liquid (butter/milk) must have been less and that is why the cookies did not come together and turned crumbly. Next time try to half the recipe and try, do let me know how it turned out.
DeleteHi. I tried the recipe. But it didt come crunchy like ur once. I followed exact same.. I baked in middle rack but within few minutes they started burning after 15 minutes, so i had to turn off oven nd it was raw at middle
Deleteare you not using baking powder?
