METHOD
- Powder 1/4 cup of sugar and take in a wide bowl.U will get 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp pwd sugar.Add softened butter( at room temperature) and vanilla essence to it.Whisk it well till creamy.In a bowl,take maida,corn flour and custard powder.
- Mix well and add this to the beated butter,sugar mixture.Fold it well and try to make a dough.Add 1 tbsp of curd and mix well.Make a stiff dough.No problem if there are mild cracks in the dough.No need to knead or beat the dough.Handle it gently.
-
Now take an orange sized ball from the dough.Roll it into 1/2 inch thick chapathi using a rolling pin.Dust it with maida if needed.Cut the cookies into desired shape using mould.Remove the cookies and arrange in a greased baking tray.( I greased the tray with few drops of oil) Make a small dent in the center of cookies using your forefinger, thumb finger or a bottle cap.Fill the dent with the jam.Put only few drops of jam because it may melt while cooking and spill in the sides.You can also put the jam just before 2 minutes at the end of baking .Its your choice.
- Preheat the oven in convection mode in 180c.Bake these cookies in 180c for 18-20 minutes till the sides turn light golden brown color.Remove the tray and let it cool.
Take the cookies and store in a box.Enjoy ! |
Note
- For variations,u can try with wheat flour.
- I am not sure of replacing butter with oil.Instead u can replace half of the butter with apple sauce.
- I used mixed fruit jam.It gives the best taste than other flavors i guess.
- I baked half of the cookies by filling jam in the beginning and half the batch by adding jam at the end.Both tasted good.
